Or. Admin. Code § 340-256-0420 - Emission Control System Inspection: Heavy-Duty Gasoline Motor Vehicle Emission Control Standards

This rule documents the standards not to be exceeded for heavy duty gasoline vehicle emission tests.

(1) CO idle emission values:

(a) 1975-1978 Model Year: 4.0%;

(b) 1979 and Newer Model Year without catalyst: 3.0%;

(c) 1985 and Newer Model Year with catalyst: 1.0%.

(2) Gross CO emissions exceed the applicable model year CO standard by a factor of one and one-half (1.5).

(3) Hydrocarbon idle emission values:

(a) 1975-1978 Model Year: 500 PPM;

(b) 1979 and Newer Model Year without catalyst: 350 PPM;

(c) 1985 and Newer Model Year with catalyst: 220 PPM.

(4) Gross HC emissions exceed the applicable model year HC standard by a factor of three (3).

(5) Visible emission must not occur during the steady-state unloaded engine idle and raised rpm portion of the emission test from either the vehicle's exhaust system or the engine crankcase.

(6) The Director may grant a waiver from standards listed in sections (1)-(4) for vehicle classes that DEQ determines present prohibitive inspection problems meeting the listed standards in sections (1) - (4) if DEQ deems the motor vehicle pollution system otherwise meets the standards of this Division.
