Does the JEVIC test not include an emissions test that would prove it complies to Euro4 standards? 

[Kevin Wood]

When you're talking the finer points of emissions compliance, a test doesn't verify compliance - only that something basic hasn't gone wrong such as a failed cat or lambda sensor. You probably need a declaration from the manufacturer, hence the OP's question, as strict compliance will have been tested only at the development stage.

Righto. Thanks Kevin.

Yes and No!lol  because of Japans own legislation and ways of doing things a vehicle that actually complies with EURO4 in the Europe (from 2005-08) quite often doesnt in Japan until years later, yes its a bit confusing!

I sometimes get two identical vehicles come up where one "technically" complies the other doesnt. The vehicle that does technically comply here doesnt need any further paperwork to comply it here the other needs a Emission Cert which I buy direct from Germany however I cant buy these untill the vehcile is on the Ship and paid for! If for some reason i cant get the Emission cert its scarp!

..and thats sort of the issue we have here or at least i do!
Here in NZ we dont have regular Emission testing like you guys, ours is only a paperwork exercise when the vehicle is Imported and complied when its first put on the road. This is how we can remove our Cats without problem:)

Reading the NZTA q&a If a vehicle complies with Japan 05, then it will be considered to meet Euro4 standards... Which were implemented in 2005...

Seems pretty clear cut reading it through

Hi not being a smart ass but you need to read more than the first 4 words you googled and my actual question from the beginning. from the same page this might give a bit more information,
The Japs Code their emissions on a 2-3 didget system. ANYTHING with a 2 didget Emission code (IE: GH) cannot cannot be imported here...even though in Europe the vehicle might be Euro4 any actually comply UNLESS I prove it is IE by buying the emission cert ex Germany. the process is very hit and miss and i have been lucky ...so far

So going back to my origional question, since you guys are "over there" and im at the other end of the planet,, does someone have a contact or a site where I can send a VIN number and I can be told yes or no that it complies to Euro4?!  Cheers boys!

Pretty clear cut... even I can read it correct as of June 2013

And Again.. these are vehicles from JAPAN not Europe as you have highlighted, please read the question first

Anything Euro 4/5/6 or market equivalent... again any Mercedes/BMW/VAG dealer in NZ will be able to access the build data through their systems and confirm or deny Euro status Basically, anything built after 2007

Mate your answering questions that havnt even been asked; (and even then getting it completely wrong)
 No offense "Taxi al" but you have no idea what you are talking about, please just leave it at that and let someone who actually does know reply; and please stop hijacking my post.

[05omegav6]

Actually I did answer your original question, which was, unless I misread it, "Does any one know of a reliable way to ascertain the emission standard of any given car using the VIN...".

To which the answer was using the factory database via the relevant main dealer...

Everything else came from the NZTA website. But hey, what do they know

Ps if I actually wanted to hijack the thread I would ask about whether you use winter tyres on the North Island...

[PLANETNZ]

Not exactly helpfull as "The Dealers" here charge at least $1100.00 (600GPB) for EACH report  and it takes about 3 weeks for the result... so with the amount of vehicles i look at in Auction in Japan each week this would cost me over $100000.00 a week and about 500 hrs to late so the very simple question of
"does someone here know of an on-line  Vin De-coader or Site where when de-coaded will confirm or not an engine is compliant to at least Euro4 remains unanswered.
