emission measurement

What does “Emise” mean in Czechia?

Emissions is the measurement of a car's exhaust gases. It is a separate procedure, but in practice, it is done together with the technical inspection.

How much it costs

  • Emissions only — 800–900 CZK.
  • Together with STK (technical inspection), it costs 2,000–2,700 CZK (STK 1,200–1,700 + emissions 800–900).

When to get it done

At the same time as the STK for passenger cars up to 3.5 tons: the first time — after 4 years, then every 2 years.

Prices are not regulated

As with STK, the price is set by the inspection station itself — the government does not fix it.

Important. When they tell you the price "STK 1 500 Kč", ask if emissions are included. This is another 800–900 Kč that can easily be a surprise on the final bill.
