State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER 0-562-27 Relating to Exemptions under Section 27156 and 38391 of the Vehicle Code Valina, Inc. (d.b.a. CarTex) "Series 12700 & 12100 Three-way Catalytic Converters" 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 12700 & 12100 three-way catalytic converters (TWC) on selected 1996 through 2003 lsuzulHonda light-duty trucks 2 (LDT2) equipped with on-board diagnostic II (OBD-II) systems as specified in Appendix D-562-27 and incorporated herein. Series 12700 & 12100 TWCs will be used for dual exhaust systems with multiple catalytic converters for the selected lsuzulHonda trucks. Series 12700 is used as the front TWC and Series 12100 is used as the rear TWC. The catalytic converters may be sold as universal or direct-fit systems. The catalytic converters were previously exempted for this application as Series 12302 & 12311. 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 converters comply with the California Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38395 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h). Emission performance of the catalytic converters was based on durability bench-aging by Umicore Automotive Catalysts USA using the Air Resources Board-modified RAT-A bench-aging cycle for 100 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 5.OL Ford Explorer equipped with dual exhaust system, and certified to Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) standards and light-duty truck 2 (LDT2) weight classification showed that the vehicle met applicable emission standards for LEVlLDT2 with Series 12700 & 12100 (2 units of each) installed. OBD II compatibility tests performed on the same test vehicle showed that Series 12700 & 12100 TWCs did not affect the vehicle's ability to perform OBD II system monitoring. The tests resulted in the issuance of Executive Order D-562-9. THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that Valina, I n c h 12700 & 12100 TWCs are exempted from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38391 for installation on the approved vehicle applications specified in Appendix D-562-27 subject to the following conditions: .
