CARB/EPA COMPLIANCE
Superchips is at the forefront in bringing you up-to-date, street legal parts that comply
with federal and state emissions regulations. Superchips is working vigorously to be
street legal in all 50 states per established CARB (California Air Resources Board) and
EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) regulations.
Superchips applies for and obtains CARB executive orders (E.O.’s) for emissions-
related products and expects to be fully certifi ed in 2011. CARB requires specialty-
parts manufacturers who sell emissions related products in California to obtain
certifi cation for such parts. Failure to do so can result in fi nes and an inability to pass
routine Inspection and Maintenance (IM) tests conducted by the state.
Nationally, the EPA has similar guidelines, thus resulting in the installation of an
emission related part not supported by a CARB E.O., to be considered a violation of
the tampering provisions in both the California Vehicle Code and Federal Clean Air Act.
