The following standards, which EPA originally adopted under 40 CFR part 90, apply to nonroad spark-ignition engines produced before the model years specified in §1054.1:
(a) Handheld engines. Phase 1 standards apply for handheld engines as summarized in the following table starting with model year 1997:
Engine displacement class | HC | NOX | CO |
---|---|---|---|
Class III | 295 | 5.36 | 805 |
Class IV | 241 | 5.36 | 805 |
Class V | 161 | 5.36 | 603 |
a Phase 1 standards are based on testing with new engines only. |
(2) Phase 2 standards apply for handheld engines as summarized in the following table starting with model year 2002 for Class III and Class IV, and starting in model year 2004 for Class V:
Engine displacement class | HC NOX | CO |
---|---|---|
Class III | a 50 | 805 |
Class IV | b 50 | 805 |
Class V | c 72 | 603 |
a Class III engines had alternate HC NOX standards of 238, 175, and 113 for model years 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively. | ||
b Class IV engines had alternate HC NOX standards of 196, 148, and 99 for model years 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively. | ||
c Class V engines had alternate HC NOX standards of 143, 119, and 96 for model years 2004, 2005, and 2006, respectively. |
(b) Nonhandheld engines. (1) Phase 1 standards apply for nonhandheld engines as summarized in the following table starting with model year 1997:
Engine displacement class | HC NOX | CO |
---|---|---|
Class I | 16.1 | 519 |
Class II | 13.4 | 519 |
a Phase 1 standards are based on testing with new engines only. |
(2) Phase 2 standards apply for nonhandheld engines as summarized in the following table starting with model year 2001 (except as noted for Class I engines):
Engine displacement class | HC NOX | NMHC NOX | CO |
---|---|---|---|
Class I-A | 50 | 610 | |
Class I-B | 40 | 37 | 610 |
Class I a | 16.1 | 14.8 | 610 |
Class II b | 12.1 | 11.3 | 610 |
a The Phase 2 standards for Class I engines apply for new engines produced starting August 1, 2007, and for any engines belonging to an engine model whose original production date was on or after August 1, 2003. | |||
b Class II engines had alternate HC NOX standards of 18.0, 16.6, 15.0, 13.6 and alternate NMHC NOX standards of 16.7, 15.3, 14.0, 12.7 for model years 2001 through 2004, respectively. |
(3) Note that engines subject to Phase 1 standards were not subject to useful life, deterioration factor, production-line testing, or in-use testing provisions. In addition, engines subject to Phase 1 standards and engines subject to Phase 2 standards were both not subject to the following provisions:
(i) Evaporative emission standards as specified in §§1054.110 and 1054.112.
(ii) Altitude adjustments as specified in §1054.115(c).
(iii) Warranty assurance provisions as specified in §1054.120(f).
(iv) Emission-related installation instructions as specified in §1054.130.
(v) Bonding requirements as specified in §1054.690.
