These standards allow emission levels exceeding those required in US Tier 4 and US EPA 2007 but are currently deemed best in class within Hong Kong at this time.
These equivalencies may only be used for projects in Hong Kong.

Projects that wish to include a gas range within the project scope must provide range hoods with increased exhaust efficiency in order to exhaust combustion byproducts.
