ENGINES--Table of Contents

 

          Subpart B_Emission Standards and Related Requirements

 

Sec.  1048.135  How must I label and identify the engines I produce?



    (a) Assign each engine a unique identification number and 

permanently affix, engrave, or stamp it on the engine in a legible way.

    (b) At the time of manufacture, affix a permanent and legible label 

identifying each engine. The label must be--

    (1) Attached in one piece so it is not removable without being 

destroyed or defaced.

    (2) Secured to a part of the engine needed for normal operation and 

not normally requiring replacement.

    (3) Durable and readable for the engine's entire life.

    (4) Written in English.

    (c) The label must--

    (1) Include the heading ``EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION''.

    (2) Include your full corporate name and trademark. You may identify 

another company and use its trademark instead of yours if you comply 

with the provisions of Sec.  1048.635.

    (3) Include EPA's standardized designation for the engine family 

(and subfamily, where applicable).

    (4) State the engine's displacement (in liters); however, you may 

omit this from the label if all the engines in the engine family have 

the same per-cylinder displacement and total displacement.

    (5) State the date of manufacture [MONTH and YEAR]. You may omit 

this from the label if you keep a record of the engine-manufacture dates 

and provide it to us upon request.

    (6) Identify the emission-control system. Use terms and 

abbreviations consistent with SAE J1930 (incorporated by reference in 

Sec.  1048.810). You may omit this information from the label if there 

is not enough room for it and you put it in the owners manual instead.

    (7) State: ``THIS ENGINE IS CERTIFIED TO OPERATE ON [specify 

operating fuel or fuels].''.

    (8) Identify any requirements for fuel and lubricants. You may omit 

this information from the label if there is not enough room for it and 

you put it in the owners manual instead.

    (9) List specifications and adjustments for engine tuneups; show the 

proper position for the transmission during tuneup and state which 

accessories should be operating. You may omit this information from the 

label if there is not enough room for it and you put it in the owners 

manual instead.

    (10) State the useful life for your engine family if it has a longer 

useful life under Sec.  1048.101(g)(1) or a shortened useful life under 

Sec.  1048.101(g)(2).

    (11) Identify the emission standards to which you have certified the 

engine.

    (12) State: ``THIS ENGINE COMPLIES WITH U.S. EPA REGULATIONS FOR 

[MODEL YEAR] LARGE NONROAD SI ENGINES.''.

    (13) If your engines are certified only for constant-speed 

operation, state: ``USE IN CONSTANT-SPEED APPLICATIONS ONLY''.

    (14) If your engines are certified only for variable-speed 

operation, state: ``USE IN VARIABLE-SPEED APPLICATIONS ONLY''.

    (15) If your engines are certified only for high-load engines, 

state: ``THIS ENGINE IS NOT INTENDED FOR OPERATION AT LESS THAN 75 

PERCENT OF FULL LOAD.''.

    (16) If you certify your engines under Sec.  1048.101(d) (and show 

in your application for certification that in-use engines will 

experience infrequent high-load operation), state: ``THIS ENGINE IS NOT 

INTENDED FOR OPERATION AT MORE THAN--PERCENT OF FULL LOAD.''. Specify 

the appropriate percentage of full load based on the nature of the 

engine protection. You may add other statements to discourage operation 

in engine-protection modes.

    (17) If your engines are certified to the voluntary standards in 

Sec.  1048.140, state: ``BLUE SKY SERIES''.

    (d) You may add information to the emission control information 

label to identify other emission standards that the engine meets or does 

not meet (such as California standards). You may also add other 

information to ensure that the engine will be properly maintained and 

used.

    (e) You may ask us to approve modified labeling requirements in this 

part 1048 if you show that it is necessary or appropriate. We will 

approve your request if your alternate label is consistent with the 

requirements of this part.

    (f) If you obscure the engine label while installing the engine in 

the equipment such that the label will be hard to read during normal 

maintenance, you must place a duplicate label on the equipment. If 

others install your engine in their equipment in a way that obscures the 

engine label, we require them to add a duplicate label on the equipment 

(see 40 CFR 1068.105); in that case, give them the number of duplicate 

labels they request and keep the following records for at least five 

years:

    (1) Written documentation of the request from the equipment 

manufacturer.

    (2) The number of duplicate labels you send and the date you sent 

them.
