Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024
(a)
Purpose. CARB recognizes
that certain emissions-related parts must be properly identified and maintained
in order for certified engine packages to comply with the applicable emissions
standards. The purpose of this section is to require manufacturers to provide a
label to the ultimate purchaser that provides vehicle owners and service
mechanics with information needed to properly maintain certified engine
packages.
(b)
Applicability.
(1) All
certified engine packages must comply with these labeling
requirements.
(2) The
responsibility for compliance with this section rests with the
manufacturer.
(c)
Label Requirements.
(1)
Engine Identification number. The manufacturer must permanently identify a
certified engine package by direct stamping or embossment. The identification
must be readily visible and readable (i.e., utilize block text that is a
minimum of 2 millimeters in height), and resistant to heat, cold, or corrosive
materials. A sample of the identification must be submitted in the application
for certification.
(2)
Emissions Control Label.
(A)
The manufacturer must provide a label with each certified engine package to the
ultimate purchaser to be affixed to a fully assembled vehicle. Manufacturers
must provide instructions to the ultimate purchaser to affix the label in such
a manner that it cannot be removed without destroying or defacing the label,
and shall not be affixed to any part that is likely to be replaced during the
vehicle's useful life.
(B)
