Where to Check the National Emission Standard of a Vehicle?
2 Answers
Methods to check the national emission standard of a vehicle: 1. Check the vehicle's environmental protection label, which is marked on the back; 2. Visit the official website of the National Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Model for inquiry; 3. Take the vehicle registration certificate (original or copy) to the environmental protection window of the local vehicle management office or the local motor vehicle pollution management center for inquiry; 4. The vehicle's factory certificate also includes this information; 5. You can roughly estimate the vehicle's emission standard based on the year of manufacture. Models manufactured before 2007 are mostly National II or National III vehicles. For vehicles registered in 2007, some are National III, while others are National IV. Vehicles registered in 2005 are mostly National II, and those registered after 2008 are mostly National IV. For vehicles registered in 2014, some are National IV, while others are National V. Most vehicles registered after 2015 are National V models.
I remember after years of driving, the most reliable way to check a car's emission standard is to look at the information on the supplementary page of the vehicle license, or find the nameplate under the hood to check the production date and deduce the standard. For example, cars produced before 2008 are mostly China III. If you can't find it, environmental labels are less common now, but you can enter the license plate or VIN code on the local environmental protection bureau's website to check, which is super convenient. Emission standards directly affect annual inspection results and traffic restriction policies. For example, cars below China III are restricted in the city centers of large cities. Don't wait until the annual inspection fails due to exhaust emissions to panic. Make it a habit to check during routine maintenance to avoid trouble and also contribute to environmental protection. This information is usually also on the vehicle's factory certificate, so don't miss these small details to ensure safe driving.
