Certified Vehicle Emissions Inspector
State law, O.C.G.A. Section 12-9, sets the requirements for inspector certification. Georgia’s I/M Rule, Chapter 391-3-20-11, entitled “Inspector Qualifications and Certifications,” details the requirements in part provided below, for individuals who are interested in becoming certified Georgia emissions inspectors.
Inspector Responsibilities
Emissions inspectors play an important role in identifying heavy polluting vehicles. The goal of Georgia’s I/M Program is to ensure the vehicles you inspect meet set criteria for the pollutants they emit. Meeting these criteria helps improve our air quality. The I/M program rules include specific procedures for conducting emissions inspections. Failing to adhere to these procedures can result in violations, penalties or revocation of the inspector license.
