Verified against eCFR.gov as of June 20, 2026View official text on eCFR.gov ↗
- (a)In order to measure the effectiveness of a retrofit device at least two, and in some cases, three vehicle configurations defined in § 610.11 will be tested. Each vehicle will be tested at least twice in each configuration, as determined by the Administrator.
- (b)The first test configuration is a baseline configuration. In this configuration the baseline or unretrofitted vehicle emissions will be measured.
- (c)A second test configuration, an adjusted configuration, may be required at the discretion of the Administrator if a device requires both hardware and engine parameter modifications to achieve the fuel economy improvement. If, in the Administrator's judgment, based on a review of the available information, the combined effects of retrofit hardware installation and parametric adjustment could be substantially duplicated by parametric adjustment alone, then the Administrator may specify a second test, to evaluate such adjustment exclusive of the retrofit hardware.
- (d)The third series of tests, in the retrofitted configuration, will evaluate the full retrofit system installed on the vehicle.
