Step by step
How RenewOS automates Emissions certificate reminder
- 1
Add it at the inspection centre
Thirty seconds after the test: certificate number, inspection centre, expiry date. The 6- or 12-month recurrence is the default for this template.
- 2
A shorter ladder for a shorter cycle
Periodic emissions inspections don't need a 90-day warning. This tool defaults to 30/15/7/1 days so reminders stay relevant instead of nagging.
- 3
Repeat, forever
Mark renewed, the next inspection cycle schedules itself. Add it once and it keeps working, year after year — that's the whole point.
Questions
Frequently asked questions — Emissions certificate reminder
Why 30 days instead of 90 for emissions inspections?
Emissions tests are fast to obtain and recur every 6 to 12 months. A 90-day ladder would nag; 30/15/7/1 fits the rhythm of the certificate.
Can I track emissions certificates for multiple vehicles?
Yes — create one item per vehicle and assign each to its driver or fleet manager. Everything shows up on one calendar.
Is an emissions certificate the same as insurance?
No, and RenewOS keeps them separate: insurance is annual and contract-based, while emissions is periodic environmental compliance. Different cycles, different reminder ladders, one dashboard.
