CarTex) "Series 12500 Three—way Catalytic Converter" WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38395, and Title 13, California Code of Regulations (hereafter "CCR") Section 2222(h), authorize the California Air Resources Board and its Executive Officer to exempt new aftermarket catalytic converters from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 and 38391. WHEREAS, Valina, Inc. (Valina) of 4560 Worth Street, Los Angeles, California 90069, has applied to the Air Resources Board for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38391 to market its new aftermarket Series 12500 three—way catalytic converter (TWC) on selected 1996 through 2004 Volvo passenger cars (PC) equipped with on—board diagnostic II (OBD—I1) and certified to Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) or less stringent standards as specified in Appendix D—562—25 and incorporated herein. Series 12500 TWC will be used for a single (1 unit) catalytic converter system application as shown in Appendix D—562—25. The catalytic converter is to be sold as a universal or direct fit system. WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority vested in the Executive Officer by Health and Safety Code Section 39515 and in the Chief, Mobile Source Operations Division by Health and _ Safety Code Section 39516 and Executive Order G—02—003, the Air Resources Board finds that the above aftermarket catalytic converter complies with the California Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38395 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h). Emission performance of the catalytic converter was based on durability bench—aging by Umicore Automotive Catalysts USA using the Air Resources Board—modified RAT—A bench—aging cycle for 75 hours, as specified in Appendix A to the "California Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Catalytic Converters" as adopted on October 25, 2007. WHEREAS, previous emissions and OBD II compatibility tests conducted by Valina, Inc. using a 2001 1.8L Toyota Corolla equipped with single exhaust system, and certified to Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) and passenger car weight classification showed that the vehicle met applicable emission standards for LEV/PC with Series 12500 (1 unit) installed. OBD II compatibility tests performed on the same test vehicle showed that Series 12500 TW C did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform OBD 11 system monitoring. The tests resulted in the issuance of Executive Order D—562—11.
