3. National Emissions Mark
Companies will generally be required to apply the national emissions mark to prescribed vehicles and engines that are manufactured in Canada for sale in Canada. CEPA 1999 prohibits a company from transporting vehicles or engines manufactured in Canada between provinces or territories unless the vehicle or engine has a national emissions mark applied to it.
The planned regulations will include administrative provisions regarding the national emissions mark11. These provisions will come into effect on the date the planned regulations are registered to allow early authorization to apply the national emissions mark to engines manufactured before January 1, 2007 that meet applicable 2007 model year standards.
Imported engines and vehicles will not require the national emissions mark as CEPA 1999 directly requires that imported engines and vehicles conform to the requirements of the planned regulations as a condition of their importation into Canada. Accordingly, the application of a national emissions mark to imported vehicles and engines will not be required to demonstrate.
