Multi-Sector Air Pollutants Regulations

Marginal note:Operation and maintenance

• 95 (1) The recommendations of the manufacturer concerning the operation and maintenance of the systems and components referred to in subsection (2) that are related to an engine must be treated as requirements and be complied with,

  • (a) in respect of an engine that is subject to a NO_x emission intensity limit referred to in any of sections 54, 55 and 57, by a responsible person for the engine;

  • (b) in respect of an engine that is subject to a NO_x emission intensity limit referred to in section 58 or 59, by the responsible person who has established the group to which the engine belongs; and

  • (c) in respect of an engine that belongs to a subgroup, other than a pre-existing engine that has been assigned a default NO_x emission value referred to in subparagraph 66(2)(a)(ii) or paragraph 66(2)(b) or (c), by the responsible person who has established the group to which the engine belongs.

• Marginal note:Systems and components

  (2) The following are the systems and components:

  • (a) the ignition system, including spark plugs;

  • (b) the air-fuel ratio management system;

  • (c) the NO_x, O₂ and lambda sensors;

  • (d) the lubrication system, including the oil and oil filters;

  • (e) the air intake filtration system; and

  • (f) the after-treatment control device.

• Marginal note:No obligation to comply

  (3) Despite subsection (1), no recommendation referred to in that subsection need be treated as a requirement and complied with by the responsible person described in that subsection if they have a record that establishes that without that compliance the NO_x emission intensity of the engine is unlikely to exceed the following limit or value:

  • (a) the applicable NO_x emission intensity limit referred to in sections 54, 55, 57 and 58;

  • (b) in respect of an engine that belongs to the subset referred to in subsection 59(1), the applicable NO_x emission intensity limit referred to in that subsection; and

  • (c) in respect of an engine that belongs to a subgroup, the NO_x emission value that is assigned to the engine under

    • (i) subsection 66(1), if that emission value is 210 ppmvd_15% or 4 g/kWh, or

    • (ii) subsection 67(1).
