Only the registration certificate is required in order to issue an Exhaust Emissions Test Card (ΚΕΚ card).

[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Testing Intervals for the Exhaust Emissions Test Card (ΚΕΚ card)” tab_id=”1613175780521-d0530223-b7f6″][vc_column_text]

Testing Intervals for the Exhaust Emissions Test Card (ΚΕΚ card)

Below you can see the frequency of testing for the issuance of a Κ.Ε.Κ. Card for the following vehicle categories:

  • Trucks over 3.5 t. gross weight: 6 months after the date they were first purchased as new vehicle and thereafter every 6 months.
  • Buses of all categories: 6 months after the date they were first purchased as new vehicle and thereafter every 6 months

** The initial fine for circulation without a valid KEK card is between 35 € and 200 €, depending on the emitted pollutants identified by the mobile inspection team. Furthermore, the valid KEK card may be cancelled if the indicated values are not verified.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Voluntary inspection” tab_id=”1613175841220-3d76a408-62bd”][vc_column_text]

Voluntary inspection

Voluntary inspection is usually carried out in order to evaluate the condition of a heavy duty vehicle, before buying a second-hand truck or after having it repaired at a garage. Voluntary inspection is independent of and does not substitute the roadworthiness test (KTEO) provided for by the legislation in force. According to the law, voluntary inspection may be carried out only on heavy duty vehicles for which a valid roadworthiness certificate was issued (if 1 year has passed from the date of purchase as new vehicles). If such a certificate is not issued, then a roadworthiness test must be carried out and the relevant roadworthiness certificate must be issued. Obviously, heavy duty vehicles with foreign registration plates or vehicles for which no roadworthiness test is required (for example vehicles that are less than 4 years old), may undergo voluntary inspection.

 

Documents required for voluntary inspection:

 – Vehicles with Greek registration plates

  • • Registration certificate
  • • Identity card or passport or driving license of the person who brings the vehicle for testing
  • • Valid roadworthiness certificate (if the vehicle is required to be inspected)

– Vehicles with foreign registration plates

  • • Registration certificate
  • • Identity card or passport or driving license of the person who brings the vehicle for testing

 

** No special sticker is attached to the vehicle registration plate.
