Where to Check Vehicle Emission Standards?
2 Answers
Vehicle emission standards can be checked through the following methods: 1. The environmental protection label on the vehicle's annual inspection sticker clearly indicates the vehicle's emission standard number. 2. Query on the national motor vehicle environmental protection label inquiry website, and select the vehicle registration location before querying. 3. Take the vehicle's driving license to the vehicle management office and inquire at the environmental protection window. 4. It can be checked on the vehicle's factory certificate, so be sure to keep the vehicle's factory certificate safe. 5. Note: Only motor vehicles that meet national emission standards can be driven on the road normally.
I've been driving for decades, and the emission standards are mainly checked on the vehicle registration certificate, also known as the driving license or green card. Just flip through it and you'll find the emission level marked, such as China IV, China V, or China VI. If you don't have it with you, try checking the small label on the B-pillar by the door or the sticker under the hood—these have the VIN number and emission information. This is quite important, especially when driving into cities with restrictions; vehicles below China V might not be allowed in urban areas. My old car was China IV, so I had to replace it. The annual inspection report can also confirm the emission standard—it's advisable to check regularly to avoid fines. Emission standards indicate pollution levels; China VI vehicles emit less exhaust and are more environmentally friendly. My new car is China VI B, which is significantly more fuel-efficient. During routine maintenance, ask the technician to check it for you—it's hassle-free. Remember, don't just look at the numbers; standards vary by region, with stricter rules in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
