Emissions test

An emissions test checks exhaust emissions from a combustion-engine vehicle and, where required, the OBD system according to the vehicle's age, power source and applicable requirements.

What is included?

  • Emissions inspection according to the vehicle’s age and power source.
  • For petrol vehicles, exhaust gas composition is measured when required.
  • For diesel vehicles, smoke opacity is measured when required.
  • OBD check when required: reading the vehicle’s onboard fault monitoring data.
  • Certificate of measurement results.

Mittaustapa riippuu ajoneuvosta

Petrol and diesel vehicles are tested differently. Requirements also depend on the date of first use and emissions class. For hybrids, the emissions requirements for the combustion engine are checked.

A fully electric vehicle does not require an exhaust-emissions test. Reading OBFCM consumption data is a separate procedure from emissions testing.

An emissions test carried out elsewhere may be accepted for inspection

An inspection may use a compliant emissions measurement report issued by an operator authorised to perform the measurement. The certificate may be no more than 3 months old at the time of inspection.

Good to know before booking

Is an emissions test done at a repair shop accepted?

Yes, if the operator is authorised to perform the measurement and the certificate meets the requirements. The certificate may be no more than three months old at the time of inspection.

Does an electric vehicle or hybrid need testing?

A fully electric vehicle does not undergo exhaust emissions testing. A hybrid’s testing requirement depends on its combustion engine, technology and date of first use.

How do I book only an emissions test?

Arrange a separate measurement with a station shown on this page. Online booking is designed for periodic inspections; you do not need to book a full inspection just for an emissions test.
