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.
(8) "Emission Control System" as defined in
Cal. Code Regs., tit.13, §
2411(a).
(9) "End of the Assembly-Line" as defined in
Cal. Code Regs., tit.13, §
2411(a).
(10) "Evaporative Emissions Control Component
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, §
2752(a).
(12) "Evaporative Emissions Control
Component" means components that control evaporative hydrocarbon emissions from
the fuel system. Evaporative emission components include, but are not limited
to, low permeation fuel tanks, low permeation fuel hoses, carbon canisters,
pressure relief valves, fuel-injection, and carburetors.
(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).

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.
(19) "Manufacturer"
as defined in Cal. Code Regs., tit.13, §
2411(a).
(20) "Nominal Capacity" as defined in Cal.
Code Regs., tit. 13, §
