Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The following minimum performance standards for Mse.
					 exhaust systems are established to prevent the ignition of fire in organic
					 fuels consisting of, or developed from forest, brush or grass
					 vegetation.
(a) Carbon Particle
				  Retention or Destruction. Each Mse. exhaust system or a spark arrester used in
				  or with such exhaust system shall be designed to retain or destroy 90% or more
				  of the carbon particles having a major diameter greater than 0.023 in. (0.584
				  mm) as determined when tested in accordance with the provisions of part 3 of
				  the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Recommended Practice
				  J335(b).
(b) Exposed Surface
				  Temperature. The Mse. exhaust system shall be designed so that the exposed
				  surface temperature shall not exceed 550 F (288 C) as determined when tested in
				  accordance with the provisions of part 4 of SAE Recommended Practice
				  J335(b).
(c) Exhaust Gas
				  Temperature. The Mse. exhaust system shall be designed so that the exhaust gas
				  temperature shall not exceed 475 F (246 C) as determined when tested in
				  accordance with the provisions of part 5 of SAE Recommended Practice
				  J335(b).
(d) Debris Accumulation.
				  The Mse. exhaust system shall be designed in such a manner that there are no
				  pockets or corners where flammable material might accumulate. Pockets are
				  permissible only if it can be substantiated by suitable test that material can
				  be prevented from accumulating in the pockets.
(e) Durability. The Mse. exhaust system must
				  be constructed of durable material and so designed that it will, with normal
				  use and maintenance, provide a reasonable service life. Parts designed for easy
				  replacement as a part of routine maintenance shall have a service life of no
				  less than 50 hours. Cleaning of parts shall not be required more frequently
				  than once for each 8 hours of operation.
(f) Serviceability. A spark arrester shall be
				  so designed that it may be readily inspected and cleaned.

Exhaust systems of Mse. operated or caused to be operated
					 at any location in California on lands covered wholly or in part, by forest,
					 brush, grass or any combination of such vegetation, will be only deemed to
					 comply with the provisions of PRC 4443 if they are:
(a) certified by an Equipment Development
				  Center of the United States Forest Service as having met the performance
				  standards set forth in 14 CAC 1241 when tested using the procedures contained
				  in SAE Recommended Practice J335(b) as required by 14 CAC 1241.1; and
(b) the operator of said Mse. maintains the
