Draft East Africa Standards

In June 2019, during a United Nations Environment Programme workshop in Kenya, the EAC presented a draft EAS on vehicle exhaust emissions, equivalent to Euro 4/IV vehicle emission standards.

The draft standard detailed exhaust emission limits for carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulate matters and smoke. It covered all types of vehicles: passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, heavy-duty vehicles, and two- and four-strokes motorcycles and scooters.

The emission limits for passenger cars (<2.5 tonnes) and heavy-duty diesel engines are provided in the table below.
