Off-Road Small Spark-Ignition Engine Emission Regulations — 5
5 (1) Off-road engines, including those of the 2019 and later model years that have a complete fuel system, are prescribed for the purposes of the definition engine in section 149 of the Act if they (a) operate under characteristics significantly similar to the theoretical Otto combustion cycle; (b) use a spark plug or other sparking device; (c) develop no more than 30 kW of power measured at the crankshaft, or its equivalent, when equipped only with standard accessories — such as oil pumps or coolant pumps — necessary for their operation; and (d) have a displacement of 1 000 cm 3 or less. (1.1) For the purposes of these Regulations, an engine kit is considered to be an engine that has a complete fuel system. (1.2) [Repealed, SOR/2020-258, s. 58] (2) The engines referred to in subsection (1) do not include an engine that is (a) designed exclusively for competition, namely one that has the following characteristics, and bears a label that meets the requirements of subsections 17.2(3) and (4) and indicates that the engine is a competition engine: (i) its performance characteristics are substantially superior to non-competition engines, and (ii) it is not displayed for sale in any public dealership or otherwise offered for sale to the general public; (b) regulated by the On-Road Vehicle and Engine Emission Regulations ; (c) regulated by the Marine Spark-Ignition Engine, Vessel and Off-Road Recreational Vehicle Emission Regulations ; (d) designed to be used in reduced-scale models of vehicles that are not capable of transporting a person; (e) designed to be used exclusively in emergency and rescue machines and that bears either a label to that effect and that meets the requirements set out in subsections 17.2(3) and (4) or the U.S. label referred to in paragraph 660(c) of subpart G of CFR 1054; (f) designed to be used exclusively in military machines that are used only in combat or combat support during military activities, including reconnaissance missions, rescue missions and training missions and that bears either a label to that effect and that meets the requirements set out in subsections 17.2(3) and (4) or the U.S. emission control information label referred to in paragraph 225(e) of subpart C of CFR 1068; (g) being exported and that is accompanied by a written statement establishing that it will not be used or sold for use in Canada; (h) in conformity with the requirements of the Off-road Compression-Ignition (Mobile and Stationary) and Large Spark-Ignition Engine Emission Regulations and has a displacement of 1 000 cm 3 or less and a gross engine power of more than 19 kW but less than or equal to 30 kW; or (i) in conformity with the requirements of the Off-road Compression-Ignition (Mobile and Stationary) and Large Spark-Ignition Engine Emission Regulations as if it were a large spark-ignition engine , as defined in subsection 1(1) of those Regulations, but that has a gross engine power of 19 kW or less. (3) For the purpose of section 152 of the Act, the prescribed engines are those prescribed under subsection (1) that are manufactured in Canada, except any engine that will be used in Canada solely for purposes of exhibition, demonstration, evaluation or testing. (4) For greater certainty, the classes of engines that are prescribed for the purposes of section 154 of the Act are those that are prescribed under subsection (1).
