Dealer Certification For Emission Cert

The EPA Emission Certificate confirms that a vehicle's emission control systems have been properly installed and inspected. The dealer must furnish the purchaser with this certificate (WATDA Form #20) at the time of delivery of any new vehicle 16,000 GVW or less. The Emission Certificate is required by the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7541) section 207 for the sale of all new vehicles. It is not required for the sale of used vehicles. It is intended to protect the dealership if the customer has future problems with the vehicle's emission control devices. Before completing the Emission Certificate, the dealer should perform a visual inspection of the vehicle to ensure that all emission-related components have been installed properly. The WATDA #20 EPA Emissions Certificate is a two part form printed in blue ink on clean carbonless paper.
