(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)1. The labels on 2012 through 2014 model year (MY) certified engine packages and 2015 through 2019 MY certified engine packages that are certifying to the LEV II exhaust emission standards in sections 2212(c)(1)(A), 2212(c)(2)(A), 2212(c)(3)(A), and 2212(c)(4)(A) must adhere to the guidelines in the "California 2001 through 2014 Model Criteria Pollutant Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures and 2009 through 2016 Model Greenhouse Gas Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures for Passenger Cars, Light-Duty Trucks, and Medium-Duty Vehicles" as last amended March 22, 2012, incorporated by reference in section 1961(d), title 13, CCR.2. The labels on 2015 and subsequent MY certified engine packages that are certifying to the LEV III exhaust emission standards in sections 2212(c)(1)(C), 2212(c)(2)(B), 2212(c)(3)(C), and 2212(c)(4)(B) must adhere to the guidelines in the "California 2015 and Subsequent Model Criteria Pollutant Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures and 2017 and Subsequent Model Greenhouse Gas Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures for Passenger Cars, Light-Duty Trucks, and Medium-Duty Vehicles," as adopted March 22, 2012, which are incorporated by reference herein. The applicable section in each of the above cited exhaust emission standards and test procedures is part 1, subpart C, section 3, which incorporates by reference and amends 40 CFR 86.1807 "Vehicle Labeling."(C) Additional Label Requirements: The label must also contain the following sentence lettered in the English language in block letters and numerals which must be of a color that contrasts with the background of the label: "This engine is only for use in a Specially Constructed Vehicle, as defined in California VC Section 580."(D) Manufacturers are not required to comply with the "California Environmental Performance Label Specifications for 2009 and Subsequent Model Year Passenger Cars, Light-Duty Trucks, and Medium-Duty Passenger Vehicles," as last amended March 22, 2012.Cal.
