Infosheet 2.08 revision 5
Date: 8 May 2008
From: Driver and Vehicle Certification Unit, Land Transport New Zealand
Revision: 5 (Revision history) This revision advises importers about the changed rules for importing immigrants’ vehicles of Classes MA, MB or MC; or ‘special interest vehicles’, that do not meet emissions standards.
Vehicle Exhaust Emissions Rule requirements for approved emissions standards
Situation
Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Exhaust Emissions (the Emissions Rule) requires that a vehicle being certified for entry into service in New Zealand for the first time must have been manufactured in accordance with an approved emission standard. Its aim is to establish an exhaust emissions baseline for motor vehicles entering the country.
This infosheet explains how you are expected to prove your vehicle complies with the approved standard requirements in the rule.
If you wish to import a motor vehicle to New Zealand, you may wish to check if it qualifies as an immigrant’s vehicle (of Class MA, MB or MC) or a ‘special interest vehicle’, in which case you may find it does not have to meet an emissions standard. Details are provided in Factsheet 44a and Factsheet 44b.
The 2007 revision of the Rule requires vehicles certified for entry into New Zealand on or after 3 January 2008 to meet more stringent exhaust emissions standards than the 2006 version of the Rule. This infosheet sets out these requirements.
However, a transitional provision allows vehicles that are border checked for entry into New Zealand before 1 February 2008 to meet earlier requirements, which are set out in Revision 3.1 of this infosheet.
For further information on emissions policies see the Ministry of Transport website.
Entry certification requirements under the rule
The Emissions Rule requires proof that a vehicle was manufactured to meet an approved emissions standard at entry certification.
The requirement to prove compliance with an approved standard applies to vehicles that operate on petrol, LPG, CNG or diesel. It covers light vehicles of classes MA, MB, MC, MD1, MD2 and NA, and heavy vehicles of classes MD3, MD4, ME, NB and NC.
It requires most vehicles that are first certified for use on New Zealand roads on or after 3 January 2008 to demonstrate compliance with an approved exhaust emissions standard.
The Emissions Rule itself can be read on this website.
Note that a ‘light’ vehicle is one with a gross vehicle mass (GVM) up to and including 3500 kg, and a ‘heavy’ vehicle is one whose GVM exceeds 3500 kg.
Application
There are standards for diesel-powered vehicles, and standards for petrol, CNG and LPG powered vehicles. Applicable standards vary according to the date the vehicle was manufactured and when it is certified for entry into service in New Zealand. Vehicles must meet one of the approved standards, or a more recent version of that standard.
Approved standards are set out in Tables 1 to 4.
Please note that if your vehicle is border checked for entry into New Zealand before 1 February 2008, it can comply with earlier requirements as set out in Revision 3 of this Infosheet.
Follow the flowcharts below to determine which table of standards applies to your vehicle.
Flowchart 1: Exhaust emissions standard requirements for new vehicles
Flowchart 2: Exhaust emissions standard requirements for used vehicles
Proof of Emissions Rule compliance for used vehicles
If you are importing a vehicle, you must be able to provide proof that it meets a required vehicle exhaust emissions standards.
Acceptable ways of proving that your used vehicle meets an approved exhaust emissions standards are set out below.
Acceptable evidence of compliance for used or parallel imported vehicles from any country
For a used or parallel-imported new vehicle imported from any country, a Statement of compliance including an approved emissions standard (listed in Tables 1 to 4) is acceptable evidence of compliance.
Important: For vehicles imported from countries other than Japan or Singapore, a Statement of compliance is the only acceptable evidence of compliance at this time.
Acceptable evidence of compliance for used vehicles from Japan
- An original Japanese deregistration, export or completion
inspection certificate showing one of the applicable emissions code character sets (listed in Table 5) at the beginning
of the industry model code.
Note: Emissions codes can be found at the start of the industry model code, before the hyphen (see circled areas on Figures 1, 2 and 3).
Acceptable evidence of compliance for used Japanese domestic vehicles imported from Singapore
- A Singapore de-registration certificate; and
- A Singapore LTA technical letter listing an approved Japanese emissions code; and
- An outcome notification letter from Land Transport NZ advising that the Singapore LTA technical letter can be accepted as proof of compliance.
Proof of Emissions Rule compliance for new and scratch-built vehicles
- For new light vehicles certified for entry into the fleet by the manufacturer’s agent, the documentation must include proof that the vehicle was manufactured in compliance with an applicable emissions standard listed in Table 2 or 4.
- For low volume production vehicles, any requirements provided in the Low-Volume Vehicle Code must be met. The vehicle must have a low-volume vehicle plate that lists the engine and/or exhaust system in the modifications listed.
- For new heavy vehicles certified for entry into the fleet, the evidence of compliance (eg. the Statement of compliance) must include proof that the vehicle was manufactured in compliance with an applicable emissions standard listed in Table 2 or 4.
Action
If you cannot provide evidence that your vehicle complies with an approved emissions standard, the vehicle cannot be certified for use on New Zealand roads.
If you have any questions about the compliance of your vehicle, we recommend you contact an entry certifier before you import it.
