Chapter 14 - Verification Procedure, Warranty and in-Use Compliance Requirements for in-Use Strategies to Control Emissions from Diesel Engines
Section 2700 - Applicability
These procedures apply to market-ready in-use strategies which, through the use of sound principles of science and engineering, control emissions of particulate matter (PM) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) from diesel-fueled diesel engines. These strategies may include but are not limited to, diesel particulate filters, diesel oxidation catalysts, fuel additives, selective catalytic reduction systems, exhaust gas recirculation systems, and alternative diesel fuels. To be verified under these procedures, a strategy must either reduce emissions of PM or both PM and NOx. A strategy that reduces emissions of NOx alone may be verified only for use with on-road diesel engines certified to a PM emissions standard of 0.01 grams per brake-horsepower hour (g/bhp-hr) or less, or off-road diesel engines certified to a PM emissions standard of 0.03 g/bhp-hr or less. A strategy that reduces emissions of NOx alone may be verified for use with other diesel engines provided that they are not regulated by Air Resources Board (ARB) in-use fleet regulations or Airborne Toxic Control Measures that require PM emissions control, or provided that they would otherwise potentially not be retrofit with PM emission control strategies.
