Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 13, § 2859 - Evaporative Emissions Control System Component Labeling

(a) Purpose. The California Air Resources Board recognizes that evaporative emissions control system components must be properly labeled in order to identify those that meet applicable evaporative emissions standards.

(b) Applicability. These specifications apply to evaporative emissions control system components that have been certified to the applicable evaporative emissions standards in this Article.

(c) Certification Label Content.

(1) The evaporative emissions control system component label information must be written in the English language.

(2) The evaporative emissions control system component label must contain the following information:

(A) The approved ARB Component Executive Order of Certification (EO) number; or

(B) Identifying characters (e.g., symbol, image, letters, EO number, model number, manufacturing part number, or combination thereof) that must be described in the evaporative emissions control system component certification application. Identifying characters must be readily visible, distinguishable, and discernable.

(d) Label Visibility. As used in these specifications, readily visible to the average person means that a label is readable from a distance of 46 centimeters (18 inches), if the evaporative emissions control system component is removed from the evaporative emissions system and inspected.

(e) Label Durability. The labels and any adhesives used must be designed to withstand, for the evaporative emissions control system component's useful life, typical evaporative emissions control system component environmental conditions. Typical evaporative emissions control system component environmental conditions include, but are not limited to, exposure to engine fuels, lubricants and coolants (e.g., gasoline, motor oil, water, and ethylene glycol).

(f) Labeling Enforcement. Missing labels, or use of labels that are different from those approved, will be grounds for revocation or suspension of the Component Executive Order of Certification, or other actions as provided by law.
