1. Have your BC vehicle registration document handy.  You will need the net and gross vehicle weights in KG's.

2. Go to this site and fill in the info.

You will note that at the bottom part of the above noted link, you can also download the standards.

500ppm HC, 4% CO, 2500ppm NOx driving and 750ppm HC, 6% CO idling.

Easy for a healthy engine.
