A new standard of fuel and
emissions of harmful substances by vehicles - Euro-3 will come into force in
Azerbaijan from August 1, the Azerbaijani State Committee for Standardisation,
Metrology and Patents said on Monday.
The period of applying the
ecological requirements for the third ecological class (Euro 3) envisaged by
AZS 636-2012 standard 'Vehicles. Ecological Classes' will be determined by the
Azerbaijani Cabinet of Ministers.
Depending on the level of
emissions envisaged by the design, the vehicles are divided into six ecological
classes in accordance with AZS 636-2012 standard.
