State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D-280-15 Relating to Exemptions under Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code AirTek, Inc. (d.b.a. Catco) "Series 612000 OBD II Compliant Three-way Catalytic Converter" WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Sections 27156, and Section 2222(h), Title 13, California Code of Regulations, authorize the California Air Resources Board and its Executive Officer to exempt new aftermarket catalytic converters from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156. WHEREAS, AirTek, Inc. (AirTek) of 4410 W. 37" Avenue, Hobart, Indiana 46342, 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 612000 three-way catalytic converter (TWC) for installation on 2001 and older Toyota passenger cars equipped with on-board diagnostic II (OBD-II) syste~nsas specified in Appendix D-280-15 and incorporated herein. The TWC will be used in a single catalytic converter exhaust system application only. The Series 612000 TWC may also be installed on non-OBD ll vehicles (1995 and older) with similar exhaust configuration as those listed in Appendix D-280-15. 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 Vel'licle Code Section 27156 and Section 2222(h), Title 13, California Code of Regulations. The emissions performance of said catalytic converter was based on durability bench-aging by Compliance and Research Services, Inc. using the ARB-modified RAT-A bench-aging cycle for 75 hours, as specified in the "Optional Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Non-original Equipment Catalytic Converters Equipped with On-Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) Systems." WHEREAS, emissions tests conducted at the Ecologic Engine Testing Laboratory (Ecologic), Fullerton, California, with Series 612000 TWC installed on a 2000 1.8L Toyota Corolla, test group YTYXVOI .8FFA, certified to the Low Emission Vehicle and passenger car emission standards (LEVIPC), showed that the catalytic converter met the applicable emission standards. OBD ll compatibility tests performed on the same test vehicle showed that Series 612000 TWC did not affect the vehicle's ability to perform OBD II system monitoring. Err~issiontest results in grams per mile are shown below. NMOG a NOx PC 100K LEV standards 0.090 4.2 0.3 Average Series 612000 TWC Test Results 0.036 0.5 0.1
