Crit'air vignettes. The French Crit'Air air quality certificate (French: Certificat qualité de l'air) is a vignette (a secure sticker) issued to show a vehicle's compliance with European emission standards. [1] Crit'Air covers all road vehicles, including motorcycles, quad bikes, private cars, vans, trucks, coaches and buses.
