Section 218-5.3 - Compliance testing and inspection-new vehicle selection, evaluation, and compliance action

(a) The department may, with respect to any new vehicle engine family, test group or subgroup being sold, offered for sale, or manufactured for sale in New York, require a vehicle manufacturer to make available for compliance testing and/or inspection a reasonable number of vehicles, and may direct that the vehicles be delivered to a specific location. Vehicles must be selected at random from sources specified by the department, which insofar as practical must exclude:

(1) vehicles manufactured pursuant to a specific requirement of an ultimate purchaser; and

(2) vehicles, the selection of which, if not excluded, would result in an unreasonable disruption of the manufacturer's distribution system. A subgroup may be selected for compliance testing only if the department has reason to believe that the emissions characteristics of that subgroup are substantially in excess of the emissions of the engine family as a whole.

(b) Selection and testing of vehicles and the evaluation of data must be made in accordance with the California Code of Regulations, title 13, section 2101 (see Table 1, section 200.9 of this Title).
