PHILIPPINE CLEAR AIR ACT OF 1999
AN ACT PROVIDING FOR A COMPREHENSIVE AIR POLLUTION CONTROL POLICY AND
FOR OTHER PURPOSES
Article Four
Pollution from Motor Vehicles
Section 21. Pollution from Motor Vehicles. - a) The DOTC shall implement the emission
standards for motor vehicles set pursuant to and as provided in this Act. To further improve the
emission standards, the Department shall review, revise and publish the standards every two
(2) years, or as the need arises. It shall consider the maximum limits for all major pollutants to
ensure substantial improvement in air quality for the health, safety and welfare of the general
public.
The following emission standards for type approval of motor vehicles shall be effective by the
year 2003:
a) For light duty vehicles, the exhaust emission limits for gaseous pollutants shall be:
Emission Limits for Light Duty Vehicles
Type Approval
(Directive 91/441/EEC)
CO HC + NOx PMa
(g/km) (g/km) (g/km)
2.72 0.970.14
a for compression-ignition engines only
b) For light commercial vehicles, the exhaust emission limit of gaseous pollutants as a function
of the given reference mass shall be:
Emission Limits for Light Commercial Vehicles
Type Approval
(Directive 93/59/EEC)
Reference Weight (RW) CO HC + NOx PMa (g/km)
(kg) (g/km) (g/km)
Category 1 1250< RW 2.72 0.97 0.14
Category 2 1250< RW<1700 5.17 1.4 0.19
Category 3 RW>1700 6.9 1.7 0.25
a for compression-ignition engines only
c) For heavy duty vehicles, the exhaust emission limits of gaseous pollutants shall be:
Emission Limits for Heavy Duty Vehicles
Type Approval
(Directive 91/542/EEC)
CO HC NOx PM
(g/k/Wh) (g/k/Wh) (g/k/Wh) (g/k/Wh)
4.5 1.1 8.0 0.36a
a In the case of engines of 85 kW or less, the limit value for particular emissions in increased by
multiplying the quoted limit by a coefficient of 1.7
Fuel evaporative emission for spark-ignition engines shall not exceed 2.0 grams hydrocarbons
per test. Likewise, it shall not allow any emission of gases from crankcase ventilation system
into the atmosphere.
b) The Department, in collaboration with the DOTC, DTI and LGUs, shall develop an action plan
for the control and management of air pollution from motor vehicles consistent with the
Integrated Air Quality Framework. The DOTC shall enforce compliance with the emission
standards for motor vehicles set by the Department. The DOTC may deputize other law
enforcement agencies and LGUs for this purpose. To this end, the DOTC shall have the power
to:
(1) Inspect and monitor the emissions of motor vehicles;
(2) Prohibit or enjoin the use of motor vehicles or a class of motor vehicles in any area or street
at specified times; and
(3) Authorize private testing emission testing centers duly accredited by the DTI.
c) The DOTC, together with the DTI and the Department, shall establish the procedures for the
inspection of motor vehicles and the testing of their emissions for the purpose of determining the
concentration and/or rate of pollutants discharged by said sources.
d) In order to ensure the substantial reduction of emissions from motor vehicles, the Department
of Trade and Industry (DTI), together with the DOTC and the Department shall formulate and
implement a national motor vehicle inspection and maintenance program that will promote
efficient and safe operation of all motor vehicles. In this regard, the DTI shall develop and
implement standards and procedures for the certification of training institutions, instructors and
facilities and the licensing of qualified private service centers and their technicians as
prerequisite for performing the testing, servicing, repair and the required adjustment to the
vehicle emission system. The DTI shall likewise prescribe regulations requiring the disclosure of
odometer readings and the use of tamper-resistant odometers for all motor vehicles including
tamper-resistant fuel management systems for the effective implementation of the inspection
and maintenance program.
