Sec.  1068.415  How do I test my engines?



    (a) Use the test procedures specified in the standard-setting part 

for showing that your engines meet emission standards. The test order 

will give further testing instructions.

    (b) If no test cells are available at a given facility, you may make 

alternate testing arrangements with our approval.

    (c) Test at least two engines in each 24-hour period (including void 

tests). However, if your projected U.S. nonroad engine sales within the 

engine family are less than 7,500 for the year, you may test a minimum 

of one engine per 24-hour period. If you request and justify it, we may 

approve a lower testing rate.

    (d) Accumulate service on test engines at a minimum rate of 6 hours 

per engine during each 24-hour period. The first 24-hour period for 

service accumulation begins when you finish preparing an engine for 

testing. The minimum service accumulation rate does not apply on 

weekends or holidays. You may ask us to approve a lower service 

accumulation rate. Plan your service accumulation to allow testing at 

the rate specified in paragraph (c) of this section. Select engine 

operation for accumulating operating hours on your test engines to 

represent normal in-use engine operation for the engine family.

    (e) Test engines in the same order you select them.
