An Emission Control Label is located on the engine. (This is an EXAMPLE ONLY, information on label varies by
engine FAMILY).
PRODUCT EMISSION DURABILITY (EMISSION COMPLIANCE PERIOD)
The 50 or 300 hour emission compliance period is the time span selected by the manufacturer certifying
the engine emissions output meets applicable emissions regulations, provided that approved maintenance
procedures are followed as listed in the Maintenance Section of this manual.
Emission Control (Exhaust & Evaporative)
EPA 2010 and Later and/or C.A.R.B. TIER III
The emission control system for the engine is EM (engine modification) and, if the second to last character of the
Engine Family on the Emission Control Information label (sample below) is “C”, “K”, or “T”, the emission control
system is EM and TWC (3-way catalyst). The fuel tank/fuel line emission control system is EVAP (evaporative
emissions). Evaporative emissions for California models are only applicable to fuel tanks.
