Emission test definition

Emission test means the transient emission test or 2−speed idle test described in the federal rule, used to determine compliance with applicable vehicle exhaust emission limitations for carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and oxides of nitrogen.
Emission test means an investigation performed by an independent laboratory that has been pre-approved by EPA to evaluate all of a vehicle or engine’s exhaust emissions. It must be performed according to all testing and recordkeeping procedures as would be required for the emission testing for the test vehicle’s or engine’s certification application (i.e., in conformity with Appendix C of the Consent Decree and 40 C.F.R. Parts 86, 90, 1051, 1054, 1065, and 1068). If the air-fuel ratio of a subject test engine can be adjusted, the following three emission tests must be conducted: one test with the vehicle or engine in the configuration as received by the testing laboratory, and one test each at maximum lean and rich conditions (as determined by adjusting the carburetor air-fuel mixture screw and needles or replacing carburetor jets, as applicable). Using carry-over or carry-across data is not an Emission Test.
