emission test
Tailpipe pollution screening
An emission test measures the pollutants released by a vehicle's exhaust system to verify compliance with environmental standards.
Most jurisdictions require periodic emission testing for vehicle registration: My car failed its emission test and needs a new catalytic converter.
Also called a smog test or smog check in some regions.
