Certification for Nonroad Compression-Ignition (NRCI) Engines
Follow these steps for certification.
STEP 1: Confirm that you have access to EV-CIS.
STEP 2: Update manufacturer information in EV-CIS.
To update information, users must have the "Maintain Manufacturer Information" role in EV-CIS. Otherwise, users will only be able to view the information.
- Industry sector(s);
- Addresses;
- Contacts and Industry/Compliance Programs;
- Test labs; and
- Notification email addresses (used for EV-CIS' broadcast notifications).
STEP 3: Review all applicable regulations.
Regulations provide requirements for certification and compliance.
- 40 CFR Part 89
Control of emissions from new and in-use nonroad compression-ignition engines. - 40 CRF Part 1039
Control of emissions from new and in-use nonroad compression-ignition engines. - 40 CRF Part 1065
Engine testing procedures. - 40 CFR Part 1068
General compliance provisions for highway, stationary, and nonroad programs.

- Transient Emissions Testing of Nonroad Compression Ignition Engines below 19 kW (PDF)(3 pp, 30 K, August 6, 2012)
STEP 4: Pay appropriate certification fees, as applicable.
A fee payment may be required for each certificate issued by EPA.
For more details, go to: Fees Information
STEP 5: Prepare certification application materials.
For each model year for a family, you must provide the applicable certification dataset and supporting materials.
