Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Certification.
Small off-road engines or equipment that use small off-road
					 engines subject to this Article must contain evaporative emission control
					 systems. The evaporative emission control systems must be certified annually to
					 the evaporative emission standards set out in sections
					 2754
					 through
					 2757
					 of this Article by the California Air Resources Board. An Executive Order of
					 Certification for such engines or equipment must be obtained prior to the sale
					 or lease, or the offering for sale or lease, for use or operation in California
					 or the delivery or importation for introduction into commerce in California.
					 Engine manufacturers or equipment manufacturers may apply for an Executive
					 Order of Certification. For model years 2006-2019, applicants must follow the
					 certification procedures outlined in CP-901,
Certification and Approval
					 Procedure for Small Off-Road Engine Fuel Tanks
, adopted July 26, 2004,
					 or CP-902,
Certification and Approval Procedure for Evaporative
					 Emission Control Systems
, adopted July 26, 2004, as applicable, which
					 are incorporated by reference herein. For model years 2020 through 2023,
					 applicants must follow the certification procedures outlined in CP-901, adopted
					 July 26, 2004, and amended September 18, 2017, or CP-902, adopted July 26,
					 2004, and amended September 18, 2017, as applicable, which are incorporated by
					 reference herein. For model year 2018 and 2019, an applicant may follow the
					 certification procedures outlined in CP-901, adopted July 26, 2004, and amended
					 September 18, 2017, or CP-902, adopted July 26, 2004, and amended September 18,
					 2017, as applicable, in lieu of those in CP-901, adopted July 26, 2004, or
					 CP-902, adopted July 26, 2004, as applicable. For model year 2024 and
					 subsequent model years, applicants must follow the certification procedures
					 outlined in CP-902, adopted July 26, 2004, and last amended January 1, 2023,
					 which is incorporated by reference herein. For model year 2022 and 2023, an
					 applicant may follow the certification procedures outlined in CP-902, adopted
					 July 26, 2004, and last amended January 1, 2023, in lieu of those in CP-901,
					 adopted July 26, 2004, and amended September 18, 2017, or CP-902, adopted July
					 26, 2004, and amended September 18, 2017, as applicable. An applicant following
					 the certification procedures outlined in CP-902, adopted July 26, 2004, and
					 last amended January 1, 2023, for model year 2022 or 2023 must meet the
					 emission standards for model year 2024 and subsequent model years, as shown in
					 Table 2 or 3 of Section
					 2754,
					 as applicable. An applicant must also meet the bond requirements in section
					 2774
					 before an Executive Order of Certification will be issued for model year 2020
					 and subsequent model year evaporative families.
(b) Certification of Complete Systems for
				  Engines or Equipment using engines with displacement greater than 80 cc through
				  model year 2023.
Certification of a complete evaporative emission control
					 system is required. An application for certification of an evaporative emission
					 control system to the diurnal emission standards in section
					 2754
					 or
					 2757
					 of this Article must include a determination of the engine or equipment model
					 in the evaporative family that is expected to exhibit the highest diurnal
					 emission rate relative to the applicable diurnal emission standard and detail
					 the criteria used to make that determination. The applicant must also include
					 one of the following for the engine or equipment model in the evaporative
					 family that is expected to exhibit the highest diurnal emission rate relative
					 to the applicable diurnal emission standard:
(1) Diurnal emission test results, determined
				  using TP-902;
(2) All of the
				  following:
(A) fuel tank permeation data,
				  determined using TP-901,
(B) fuel
				  line permeation data, determined using SAE J1737, SAE J30, SAE J1527, or, only
				  for fuel lines with inner diameter 4.75 mm or less, SAE J2996, and
(C) carbon canister butane working capacity
				  data determined using TP-902 or equivalent; or
(3) The Executive Order numbers approving the
				  fuel tank, fuel line, and carbon canister pursuant to section
				  2767.1
				  of this Article.
