laying down rules for the classification of road motor vehicles in emission categories and on emission plaque
The Government orders pursuant to § 14 (8) of Act No. 201 / 2012 Coll., on Air Protection:
Preliminary provisions
This Regulation lays down:
(a) the way in which road motor vehicles are classified in emission categories;
(b) patterns of emissions plaque;
(c) the rules governing the marking of a road motor vehicle with the appropriate emission plaque; and
d) closer conditions for the distribution of emissions plaques and their price.
Method of classifying road motor vehicles into emission categories
(1) A road motor vehicle shall be classified in emission category 1 to 6 according to the degree of compliance of the exhaust emission limit values according to the European Union Regulation (1). If an indication of the level of compliance with the emission limit values is not available, the date of the first entry of the road motor vehicle in the register of road vehicles in the State where the road motor vehicle was first put into service as new.
(2) The level of compliance with the emission limit values or the date of first entry of a road motor vehicle in the register of road vehicles shall be demonstrated for the purposes of classification in the emission category by entry in the certificate of registration of the road vehicle.
(3) A road motor vehicle meeting the requirements set out in Part IV of Annex 1 to this Regulation shall be classified in emission category E.
(4) The method of classification of road motor vehicles in emission categories is set out in Annex 1 to this Regulation.
Emission plaque models
(1) Emission plaques differ in colour according to the respective emission category. The basic background colours are used for plaques
(a) red for emission category 2,
(b) yellow for emission category 3,
(c) green for emission category 4;
(d) blue for emission category 5,
(e) violet for emission category 6; and
(f) white for emission category E.
(2) Vehicles with emission category 1 are not subject to any emission plaque.
(3) Emission plaque shall have the shape of an octagonal diameter of a circle inscribed 60 mm. The field for registration of the vehicle registration mark shall be white. Emission plaque has a black frame 2 mm wide around the perimeter.
(4) The front of the emission plaques visible from the outside of the road motor vehicle are:
(a) an emission category number with a height of 25 mm placed 5 mm below the upper edge;
(b) a white field for the registration of a vehicle registration plate measuring 45 × 15 mm located at the bottom;
(c) original guilloche frames in the plaque colour area;
(d) a silver-coloured holographic element with a protected graphic pattern located in the upper half of the plaque to the left of the emission category number; and
(e) the security features covered by the classified information regime under the law governing the protection of classified information2) contained in the section of the technical specification of the product.
(5) On the back of the emission plaques visible from the inside of the road motor vehicle are:
(a) information on its use and location; and
(b) the written serial number of the series and the six-digit serial number of the emission plaque.
(6) The model of the emissions plaque is set out in Annex 2 to this Regulation.
Rules for the marking of a road motor vehicle with an emission plaque
(1) The emission plaque shall contain an indication of the registration mark of a road motor vehicle whose authorised entry into the low emission zone is demonstrated by the plaque. The registration mark shall be marked when the emission plaque is issued after a documentary check showing the classification of the road motor vehicle in the relevant emission category.
(2) The emissions plaque must be applied to the whole surface on the inside of the clear glass of the front window of the road motor vehicle at the right lower edge of the glass so that the driver's vision from the vehicle is as limited as possible and the plaque is well visible from the outside of the vehicle.
(3) If the road motor vehicle is not equipped with front glass, it is sufficient for its driver to prove that it has a plaque on it.
Closer conditions of distribution and cost of emissions plaques
(1) The cost of the plaque is 90 CZK.
(2) Where an application for an emission plaque is sent by post or in electronic form, the applicant shall accompany it with a copy of the registration certificate of the road vehicle. In this case, the person who provides the distribution of the plaque shall send the plaque to the applicant by mail. The cost of sending the plaque shall be borne by the applicant.
(3) The emission plaque distributor shall keep a record of the emissions plaque issued by him. The registration shall contain a series and six-digit serial number of the emission plaque given on the back of the emission plaque, the emission category, the registration number of the road vehicle and the information on who and when issued the emission plaque.
Technical Regulation
This Regulation has been notified in accordance with Directive (EU) 2015 / 1535 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 September 2015 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical and information society services.
