Diesel
Vehicle Emission Testing
Envirotest Environmental Consultants CC
offers diesel
vehicle emission testing throughout South Africa
Envirotest Environmental Consultants CC uses the
Lucas Hartridge Smokemeter 4, currently the only equipment
prescribed by South African law to be used for
diesel
vehicle emission testing. Testing is conducted on your
premises and a scientific report of the testing will be
issued to your company for submission to the ISO
Certification auditors to confirm compliance with the
South African air pollution legislation.
Please contact us with any queries you might have.
Recognised Standard & Legislation
ISO 14001 is an international standard for
environmental
management systems (EMS’s) and is based on three key
principles:
1) Prevention of pollution
2) Compliance with
relevant environmental law
3) Continual improvement in
both the system and environmental performance.
 The relevant legislation that we would like to bring to
your attention is the South African regulations
concerning the control of noxious or offensive gasses
emitted by diesel-driven vehicles R1651 dated 20
September 1974 and promulgated in terms of the
Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Act, Act 45 of 1965.
These regulations determine the maximum allowed exhaust
emissions for all diesel-driven motor vehicles.
Currently, random smoke tests on public roads are executed by the government's regional environmental health department's in order to ensure compliance with these regulations.
Compliance with this law, as well as with the company’s
Environmental Management System, should be determined
during the annual auditing of your company. To ensure
that your company is in full compliance, annual testing
of all diesel-driven vehicles is recommended.
