Emission performance of the HPCH was —based on cold—start CVS—75 tests conducted at an independent vehicle test laboratory. It has not been determined what effect use of the HPCH may have on any warranty, either expressed or implied, by the manufacturer or a motor vehicle on which the device is installed. IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the above HPCH is exempt from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for installation on the approved application vehicles subject to the following conditions: 1. No changes are permitted to the HPCH device as described in the application for exemption. Any changes to the HPCH or any of its components, and other factors addressed in this order must be evaluated and approved by the ARB prior to marketing in California. 2. Marketing of the HPCH using identification other than those shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the HPCH for application other than the one listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the ARB. Exemption of this product shall not be construed as an exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any components of the HPCH device as individual devices.
