Yes.

Cats have been required fitting on all new cars since 1992 here in the UK, but, it was legal to de-cat, but the car still had to pass the emissions test every year, although, the first test doesn't occur until the car hits 3 years old. Most cars though couldn't pass the emissions test without a min of a race cat being fitted anyway.
However, as of this year, the car is now also visually inspected as well to look for the cat being in place, as well as emissions being tested.
