				  following: a blade or Phillips screwdriver, open-end or box wrench, adjustable
				  wrench, standard hexagonal socket, hands, pliers, or Torx bit.
(7) "Diurnal Emissions" means evaporative
				  emissions resulting from the daily cycling of ambient temperatures and include
				  resting losses and permeation emissions, as measured according to test
				  procedures incorporated in this Article.

				  Cal. Code Regs., tit.13, §
											2411(a).

				  Manufacturer" means the manufacturer of an evaporative emissions control
				  component applying for or holding a Component Executive Order of
				  Certification.
(11) "Evaporative
				  Emissions" as defined in Cal. Code Regs., tit.13, §

(12) "Evaporative Emissions Control
				  Component" means components that control evaporative hydrocarbon emissions from

(13) "Evaporative Family" as defined in Cal.
				  Code Regs., tit.13, §
											2752(a).
(14) "Evaporative Family Emissions Limit
				  (EFEL)" is defined as the numerical value selected by the manufacturer to serve
				  in the advanced fuel system credit program. The EFEL serves as the evaporative
				  family's emission standard for emission compliance efforts. If the manufacturer
				  does not declare an EFEL for an evaporative family, the applicable emissions
				  standard must be treated as that evaporative family's EFEL for the purposes of
				  any provision in this Article. In addition, the EFEL must be set in increments
				  of 0.025 grams per test.
(15)
				  "Executive Order of Certification" as defined in Cal. Code Regs., tit.13,
				  §
											2752(a).
(16) "Fuel Injection" is defined as any
				  mechanical or electrical fuel system in which pressurized fuel is sprayed or
				  injected, only when the engine is starting or running, into the intake system
				  or cylinder of an internal combustion engine.
(17) "Golf Cart" as defined in Cal. Code
				  Regs., tit.13, §
											2411(a).
(18) "Independent Laboratory" is defined as a
				  laboratory that is not owned, operated, or affiliated with the applicant
				  seeking an Executive Order of Certification of Component Executive Order of
				  Certification.
