CARB Executive Order (EO) Testing
California Vehicle Code, section 27156 (VC27156) and the Federal Clean Air Act(CAA) prohibit vehicle modifications which increase motor vehicle emissions. These "anti-tampering" provisions effectively prohibit the sales of after-market parts which are not functionally identical to the parts they are replacing. However, since most properly engineered parts do not increase emissions, the laws allow for exemptions for the installation of parts proven by their manufacturer and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) not to increase emissions. The process by which these exemptions are granted is via an Executive Order (EO). Each EO is assigned a number which is required on all after-market parts.
ATDS can locate and acquire the necessary vehicles, make the modifications in our well equipped, four lift mechanic's bay, conduct the required tests and provide properly formatted written reports of the results.
ATDS has existing driving routes which have been approved by CARB and the EPA for certification use.
