Marginal note:Performance tests

77 In addition to a performance test referred to in section 69, a performance test to determine the NO_x emission intensity, expressed in ppmvd_15% or g/kWh, of a regular-use engine must be conducted

• (a) within 12 months after the first hour of its operation after it first becomes a regular-use engine, if it is a modern engine that has a rated brake power of at least 75 kW;

• (b) within 12 months after any of sections 57 to 59 first applies in respect of the engine;

• (c) within 90 days after a person becomes, on a given date, an owner of an engine that is subject to a NO_x emission intensity limit referred to in any of sections 54 and 57 to 59, if

  • (i) they do not have a record of the information referred to in paragraph 100(i) and section 6 of Schedule 10 in respect of the most recent performance test, if any, conducted on the engine, and

  • (ii) that given date occurs

    • (A) less than 90 days before the end of the 12-month period referred to in paragraph (a) or (b), or

    • (B) after the end of that 12-month period; and

• (d) before an assignment, by a responsible person under subsection 67(1), of a NO_x emission value to an engine that is different from its default NO_x emission value described in subsection 66(2), if

  • (i) the NO_x emission value that they propose to assign is lower than the NO_x emission intensity for the engine determined by means of the most recent performance test conducted on the engine, or

  • (ii) that responsible person does not have a record of the information referred to in paragraph 100(i) and section 6 of Schedule 10 in respect of that most recent performance test.
