As highlighted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in their documentation titled “Small Off-Road Engine or Equipment Regulatory and Certification Documents,” the agency outlines an evolving set of standards and certification protocols for small off-road engines (SORE) under 19 kilowatts (25 horsepower). These regulations are critical for manufacturers and equipment providers seeking certification in California and beyond.
The regulatory scope includes a wide range of requirements for manufacturers, including exhaust and evaporative emission rules, amendments across model years, and up-to-date test procedures. These changes impact everything from lawn equipment and portable generators to construction and utility tools, making compliance a central concern for businesses in this space.
