Dealer Fleet Station Handbook

Area A (Metro Phoenix) Information for Fleet Station Personnel

REV-9-04(2)

Introduction

This handbook describes the requirements for a licensed motor vehicle dealer to operate a fleet emissions inspection station. Contained within are: Summarizations of the fleet emissions inspection station permitting and inspector licensing processes; lists of required inspection equipment and equipment maintenance/calibration standards; inspection procedures for specific classes of vehicles; record keeping procedures. The inspection procedures outlined in this handbook apply to vehicles specifically held for retail sale. Vehicles other than those held for retail sale (parts truck, courtesy van, loaner vehicle) must be inspected at an official state emissions inspection station. Because dealers typically do not own the required equipment and apply for a permit to inspect diesel powered vehicles, this handbook does not address their inspection. The handbook was developed from laws and regulations found in Arizona Revised Statutes Title 49, Chapter 3, Article 5, and Arizona Administrative Code, Title 18, Chapter 2, Article 10. Under Arizona law, a motor vehicle must pass an emissions inspection prior to registration or re-registration. A motor vehicle sold by a dealer must pass an emissions inspection prior to delivery to the retail purchaser. The dealer is responsible for the cost of the inspection and any repairs necessary to pass the inspection. Permits are issued after the Department has found that the dealership: 1. Maintains an established place of business for the repair and maintenance of the applicant's fleet of vehicles 2. Has approved machinery, tools and equipment to adequately conduct the required emissions inspections 3. Employs properly trained and licensed personnel to perform the necessary labor 4. Agrees to provide data as may be prescribed by the director If you have any questions regarding this handbook, please call the Vehicle Emissions Inspection and Compliance Unit at (602) 207-7000, in Phoenix, or (520) 628-5651, ext.0, in Tucson.

Section I

Dealer Fleet Station Permit Requirements

A. Permitted fleet emissions inspection stations must meet the following requirements: 1. The permitted facility must be exclusively owned or leased by the applicant and must be located inside area A as defined in Arizona Revised Statutes ' 49-541(1). Dealer fleets located within 50 miles of the outer boundary of Area A may qualify for a fleet permit if they certify to the Department that customers who reside in Area A are the primary source of their business. 2. The applicant must own or lease at least 25 non-exempt vehicles. $ A business inventory of at least 25 vehicles held for resale, counted cumulatively over a 12-month period. $ For newly established motor vehicle dealers, the fleet owner must certify the fleet will meet the requirement of 25 non-exempt vehicles, within 12 months. 3. The facility must have a space specifically dedicated to maintaining or repairing at least one fleet vehicle. 4. The applicant must employ a fleet agent who is in charge of day to day operations of the fleet. The fleet agent can be the applicant or a designated employee. The fleet agent must also pass an examination on the rules governing the day-to-day operation of the fleet station. 5. The fleet must employ a licensed emissions inspector to perform inspections on fleet owned vehicles. The licensed inspector must be certified to inspect for the types of vehicles owned or leased by the fleet (the fleet agent and inspector can be the same person). 6. The applicant or employee(s) must own or lease equipment necessary to perform all aspects of the required inspections. 7. The applicant must agree to provide data to the Department as prescribed by the Director. B. Fleet Permit Suspension or Revocation: Fleet station permits do not expire. However, the fleet permit can be suspended or revoked if the fleet owner or employees: 1. Violate any provision of Arizona Revised Statute Title 49, Chapter 3, Article 5 or Arizona Administrative Code Title 18, Chapter 2, Article 10; 1

2. Misrepresent material facts in obtaining a fleet permit; 3. Fail to make, keep and submit pertinent records to the Department; 4. Fail to provide a state inspector access to the information required by law. C. Types of Dealer Fleet Permits (Non-Diesel): 1. Fleet permits are issued to a motor vehicle dealer (dealer fleet) for the inspection of specific vehicles by class. 2. Under the current law, dealer fleet stations must perform the idle or idle and 2500 RPM unloaded tests on all non-diesel vehicles. 3. The following are types of non-diesel permits issued and the equipment requirements for each. 4. Dealer fleets require equipment to perform an idle only or an idle plus 2500 RPM unloaded test. The following test equipment is required: ? ? ? A non-dispersive infra-red CO and HC emissions analyzer that is equipped with a water trap in the sampling line capable of taking undiluted exhaust samples from the vehicle exhaust system; Pressure test equipment for the functional gas cap test capable of determining that the gas cap leakage does not exceed 60cc per minute at 30 inches of water gauge; An ignition-operated tachometer.

D. General Dealer Fleet Station Requirements: The following requirements apply to all dealer fleet stations: 1. The fleet permit along with licenses of agents and inspectors employed by the dealer fleet must be prominently displayed within the facility. 2. Whenever an inspector starts or ends employment with a dealer fleet, the fleet station must notify the Department in writing within 7-days of the change in employment status. (Written notification can be done by mail, but the preferred method is E-mail or Fax). The written notification must include; the name and license number of the vehicle emissions inspector; a statement declaring the employment change; the effective date of the employment change. If the fleet=s only licensed inspector leaves the employment of the fleet station the fleet must; immediately cease operating as a fleet inspection station; immediately notify the Department by phone of the change in employment status; within 7-days, the fleet must notify the Department in writing and surrender all unused certificates of inspection to the Department for a refund. 2

3. Whenever a fleet agent is hired, terminated or resigns, the fleet owner must do the following, when applicable: a. When a fleet agent is hired, the fleet must notify the Department within 7-days of the designation of a new fleet agent. This will require the fleet owner to submit a completed "Fleet Agent Designation" form (see attachment). b. When a fleet agent is terminated or resigns, and there is no qualified individual to assume the responsibility of day to day operations, the fleet must; immediately cease operations as a fleet station; immediately notify the Department by phone; notify the Department in writing within 7-days of the change in employment status. c. When a fleet agent is terminated or resigns, and there is a qualified individual (someone who has passed the fleet agent/inspector exam) to assume the responsibility of day-to-day operations, the fleet must notify the Department within 7-days of the designation of a new fleet agent. This will require the fleet owner to submit a completed "Fleet Agent Designation" form (see attachment). 4. The fleet permit is only applicable to the fleet=s inspection facility located at the address on the permit. Additional facilities will require separate permits. A permitted facility that changes its name or address, but retains the same fleet ownership, is required to return the permit to the Department and submit a new permit application. The Department will cancel the returned permit and issue a new permit with the updated information. 5. A duplicate permit for one that has been lost, destroyed or mutilated may be obtained by providing a letter of explanation and request for replacement (include damaged permit, if applicable). If a duplicate permit is issued and the lost permit is later located, the dealer fleet station must immediately return the original to the Department. E. Special Requirement for Dealer Fleets: Written Notice of Purchasers Rights (IM147 disclosure) Motor vehicle dealers that have been issued a fleet emissions inspection station permit are required to provide some purchasers with a written notice of their right to obtain an emissions inspection at a state station after the sale. The written notice is required for the sale of 1981 through 1995 model year vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 8,500 lbs. or less, and have less than one year before the vehicle must undergo a transient loaded test (IM147), or has never taken an IM147 test and is not covered by a federal emissions warranty. Federal emissions warranty is two year/24,000 miles on most emissions components and eight year/80,000 mile for items such as the catalytic converter and computer. The notice must state the following:

a. The purchaser has the right to have the vehicle tested within three days (excluding holidays) after the sale at a state emissions inspection station b. If the vehicle fails the emissions inspection, the dealer will do one of the following: ? ? ? Rescind (unwind) the purchase agreement and refund the purchaser the cost of the emissions inspection. Repair the vehicle to pass the emissions inspection at no cost to the purchaser. Enter into a mutually acceptable alternate agreement with the purchaser

Section II

Fleet Agent & Inspector Licensing

A. Licenses: There are four types of vehicle emissions inspector licenses that pertain to permitted fleet facilities. These licenses are designated as follows: "A" Fleet Agent "CF" Non-Diesel Vehicle Inspector "FD" Diesel Vehicle Inspector "CFD" Non-Diesel and Diesel Vehicle Inspector To obtain a license, the applicant must take and pass the appropriate examination(s) relating to the inspector license. Applicants must pass all tests with a minimum score of 80 percent. 1. "A" License requires the applicant to pass the Fleet agent/inspector examination (25 questions) 2. "CF" License requires the applicant to pass the following tests: ? Certified technician examination (75 questions) $ Fleet agent/inspector examination (25 questions) $ Non-diesel inspector examination (25 Questions) 3. "FD" License requires the applicant to pass the following tests: ? Fleet agent/inspector examination (25 questions) $ Diesel inspector examination (25 questions) 4. "CFD" License requires the applicant to pass the following tests: ? Certified technician examination (75 questions) $ Fleet agent/inspector examination (25 questions) $ Non-diesel inspector examination (25 questions) $ Diesel inspector examination (25 questions) B. Testing options: 1. Attending the Two-Day Fleet Certification Class: Twice each month, the Department holds a two-day certification class at the Vehicle Emissions Office (600 North 40th Street, Phoenix). The class curriculum covers basic emission control systems, theory and diagnosis, as well as applicable fleet station laws and regulations. If you have not attended a class in the last couple of years, it may be beneficial to do so as you may not be aware of some of the latest program changes. The class is not recommended for applicants seeking 5

the "A" or "FD" license. Applicants planning to attend the class should register 30-days in advance to ensure seating availability. Upon completion of the fleet certification class, applicants should be able to pass all examinations. To register, call our office at (602) 207-7000. 2. Challenging the Test: The Department allows for applicants to challenge the tests and bypass the 2-day fleet certification class. Tests can be challenged every Friday (excluding holidays) between 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. at the Vehicle Emissions Office (600 North 40th Street, Phoenix). Testing by appointment is available; please call our office at (602) 207-7000. If an applicant fails the certified technician examination, the applicant is required to attend the fleet certification class before retaking the examination. 3. Inspector License Renewal and Expiration: To retain the current license expiration date, the inspector must renew the license within 30-days before the expiration date. If the license is allowed to expire, the license expiration will be changed to one year from the date the inspector passed the required examinations. C. Change of Employment Status Inspector and Agent Notification Requirements: A vehicle emissions inspector is required to notify the Department of any change in employment status due to hiring, retirement, resignation, or termination within 7-days of such a change. Please call (602) 207-7000. In addition, the fleet owner or agent is required to notify the Department in writing within 7-days. Written notification may be faxed to (602) 207-7020; e-mailed to Osborne.Adrion@azdeq.gov; or sent by mail to 600 North 40th Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85008. The burden of notifying the Department if a fleet agent is hired, retires, resigns or is terminated falls solely on the fleet owner. The fleet agent is not required to notify the Department. D. Inspector License Revocation: The Department may suspend, revoke or refuse to renew a license if the licensee has violated any provision of Arizona Revised Statutes Title 49, Chapter 3, Article 5, or Arizona Administrative Code Title 18, Chapter 2, Article 10. In addition, an inspector license may be suspended, revoked, or refused to be renewed if the inspector fails to demonstrate proficiency to the Department regarding vehicle inspection procedures.

Section III

Dealer Fleet Station & Licensed Inspector Auditing

Permitted dealer fleet facilities and inspectors are subject to periodic audits by the Department to ensure that emissions inspection and documentation procedures are being followed. Outlined below are the audit types, and the minimum required frequency of each audit. 1. Dealer fleet used motor vehicle sales and compliance with emissions inspection requirements, at least annually; 2. Licensed inspector performance, at least twice annually; 3. Dealer fleet station emissions inspection records, monthly as submitted to the Department.

Section IV

Equipment Maintenance, Calibration & Auditing Requirements

A. All equipment and testing instruments must be maintained in accurate working condition as specified by the manufacturer. Instruments that require a periodic calibration must be calibrated according to the instructions and recommendations of the instrument or equipment manufacturer. B. To maintain registration, non-dispersive infra-red CO and HC analyzers must be checked with approved calibration gases at least monthly by a certified technician. 1. The approved calibration gas will contain a blend of hexane (300 parts per million) and carbon monoxide (1.5 percent) or hexane (300 parts per million), carbon monoxide (1.5 percent), and carbon dioxide (5.0 percent). 2. The analyzer must read the calibration gas within the following tolerances: CO -0.25% to +0.50 % HC -30 ppm to +60 ppm in the range from 0 to 2% (Low Scale) in the range from 0 to 500 ppm (Low Scale)

3. The monthly calibration check should include an inspection of the analyzer=s sampling and filtration systems. 4. The record of the calibration check and any repairs performed must be documented on the analyzer=s repair and calibration history log (VE-160). 5. Analyzers that do not read within the tolerances specified or have leaks or restrictions in the sampling or calibration systems, must be removed from service and cannot be used to perform official emissions inspections until repairs are performed and the analyzer passes a calibration check. C. At least quarterly, the Department will conduct a state calibration audit. The Department may also perform unscheduled audits for analyzer accuracy. The repair and calibration history log (VE-160) must be available to a state inspector during an audit. During a state calibration audit the analyzer must read within following tolerances. CO -0.25% to +0.50 % CO -0.50% to +1.0 % HC -30 ppm to +60 ppm HC -100 ppm to +200 ppm in the range from 0 to 2% (Low Scale) in the range from 0 to 10% (High Scale) in the range from 0 to 500 ppm (Low Scale) in the range from 0 to 2000 ppm (High Scale)

D. Analyzers that do not read within the state calibration audit tolerances will be Ared tagged,@ and cannot be used by the fleet for official emissions inspections until: 1. The analyzer has been properly repaired; 2. The analyzer has passed a state calibration audit or vendor calibration audit performed by a certified analyzer repair technician, (analyzers repaired by the manufacturer or out of state repair facility must pass a state calibration audit); 3. The red tag has been removed by a state inspector or certified analyzer repair technician.

Section V

Time of Inspection, Required Inspections & Inspection Procedures

Vehicles to be sold by a licensed motor vehicle dealer, unless exempt (see Section VII) must be emissions inspected prior to delivering to a retail purchaser. Consignment vehicles cannot be emissions inspected by a dealer fleet and must be inspected at a state station. Following are detailed procedures for the types of inspection/test required: A. Curb Idle Test: The curb idle test measures the exhaust emissions with the vehicle stopped and the engine idling at manufacture's specification " 100 RPM. ? ? 1967 through 1980 model year vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, the vehicle shall be tested in drive, with foot brake applied. 1967 through 1980 model year vehicles equipped with a manual transmission the vehicle shall be tested in neutral, with foot brake applied.

To perform the curb idle test, insert the exhaust sample probe 8 to 12 inches into the exhaust pipe. Record the HC and CO readings after the readings have stabilized or at the end of 30 seconds, whichever occurs first. ? 1981 and newer model year vehicles; the transmission shall be in neutral, with foot brake applied.

To perform the curb idle test, insert the exhaust sample probe 8 to 12 inches into the exhaust pipe. Record the HC and CO readings after the readings have stabilized or at the end of 90 seconds, whichever occurs first. If any vehicle is equipped with multiple exhaust pipes and the analyzer is not capable of sampling multiple pipes, the test must be performed separately on each pipe. Record the HC and CO readings for each pipe and obtain an average. Compare the average results to the maximum allowable. If the vehicle's emissions are above the standard, the engine may be preconditioned by operating it at 2500 rpm " 300 RPM for up to a maximum of 30 seconds. After preconditioning, return the engine speed to curb idle and perform a second idle test. If the emissions levels are below the standard, the vehicle passes the curb idle test. If the vehicle=s emissions levels still exceed the maximum allowable, the vehicle fails inspection and repairs are required.

B. Dealer 2,500 RPM Unloaded Fast Idle Test The 2,500 rpm test measures the exhaust emissions with the vehicle stopped, transmission in neutral, and engine operating at an, unloaded 2,500 RPM " 300 RPM. To perform the 2,500 RPM test, insert the exhaust sample probe 8 to 12 inches into the exhaust pipe. Once sampling has begun, increase the engine speed to 2,500 RPM " 300 RPM and hold the speed steady. Record the HC and CO readings after the readings have stabilized or at the end of 30 seconds, whichever comes first. If any vehicle is equipped with multiple exhaust tail pipes and the analyzer is not capable of sampling multiple pipes, the test must be performed separately on each pipe. Record the HC and CO readings for each pipe and obtain an average. Compare the average results to the maximum allowable. C. Visual Gas Cap Inspection The visual gas cap inspection consists of verifying the vehicle has a properly fitting gas cap. The visual inspection is performed on vehicles that were manufactured without evaporative control systems. This includes most 1970 and older vehicles, and many 1984 and older federal heavy-duty trucks. These vehicles are designed to vent fuel tank vapors into the atmosphere. Many 1970 and newer heavy-duty vehicles certified to meet California emission requirements were equipped with evaporative control systems and are subject to a functional gas cap test. D. Functional Gas Cap Test The functional gas cap test determines if the gas cap properly seals, preventing fuel vapor (Hydrocarbons) from escaping into the atmosphere. This test consists of attaching the gas cap to a testing unit that applies pressure and monitors air flow or leakage. The maximum allowable leakage is 60 cubic centimeters of air per minute at 30 inches of water. If the vehicle fails the functional gas cap test, a complete re-inspection is required. A faulty gas cap can cause the evaporative system to malfunction, which may affect emissions. E. Equipment Tampering The tampering inspection is based on the original configuration of the vehicle as manufactured and consists of the following: 1. A visual inspection to determine the presence and proper installation of each required Catalytic converter (if applicable as manufactured); 2. An examination to determine the presence of an operational air injection system (if applicable as manufactured);

3. A visual inspection to determine the presence of an operational positive crankcase ventilation system and evaporative control system (if applicable as manufactured). The above components shall be verified by referring to the "VEHICLE EMISSIONS CONTROL INFORMATION" label. The label on many older vehicles may be damaged, missing or unreadable. Refer to an emissions control application guide.

Section VI

Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Requirements

A. Definition of Alternative Fuels: 1. Alternative Fuels and fuel codes are defined as follows: ? ? ? ? (L) Liquified petroleum gas (LPG or Propane) (C) Compressed natural gas/liquified natural gas (M) 70/30 minimum blend of alternative fuel and petroleum based fuel (except alcohol) (A) Alcohol if used in a vehicle prior to August 21, 1998. After that, alcohol is no longer recognized as an alternative fuel by the State of Arizona. This includes M85 and E85 Flex Fuel vehicles

2. Bi-fuel AFV means a vehicle that is capable of operating on an alternative fuel and gasoline. 3. Dedicated AFV means a vehicle that solely operates on an alternative fuel. B. Testing Requirements for Alternative Fuel Vehicles: Vehicles that are powered by alternative fuels are eligible for a current model year plus two previous year exemption. (Note, this is more restrictive than the current plus four model year exemption). AFV's must be inspected according to the Time of Inspection, Required Inspections & Inspection Procedures outlined in Section V, with the following exceptions: Bi-fuel vehicles must pass inspection while operating on each fuel. If the vehicle fails on one or both fuels, a complete re-inspection on each fuel must be performed to be sure that repairs to one system did not affect the other. An inspection of an AFV vehicle operating on compressed natural gas or liquified natural gas requires the use of a correction factor of 0.61 to calculate the true hydrocarbon (HC) readings, when using an NDIR analyzer. The HC exhaust emissions must be multiplied by 0.61. Example: The HC emissions reading during the exhaust pipe emissions inspection is 200 ppm; the HC emissions recorded on the Fleet Vehicle Inspection Report/Monthly Summary would be 122 ppm (200 x 0.61 = 122).

Section VII

Exempt Vehicles

The following vehicles are exempt from inspection requirements: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? A vehicle registered outside of Area "A" that is not used to commute to the driver's place of employment located inside Area "A" A 1966 model year and older vehicle A vehicle sold between motor vehicle dealers (wholesale) An Electrically powered vehicle (does not include hybrid vehicles) A vehicle with apportioned registration (vehicles registered in more than one state) A golf cart (gas or electric) A vehicle with an engine displacement of less than 90 cubic centimeters A vehicle registered at the time of change of name of ownership except when: a. The change of ownership results from a dealer sale, or b. The change in registration is accompanied by the required fee for the year following expiration of the prior registration A vehicle registered with a current Director=s Certificate An original equipment manufactured alternative fuel vehicle of the current or two prior model years A vehicle designed to operate exclusively on hydrogen A vehicle of the current or four prior model years, except; a. A reconstructed vehicle (titled as a reconstruct or special construction); b. An alternative fuel vehicle, as defined in Arizona Revised Statutes; c. A vehicle failing an emissions inspection, whose owner elected to have the vehicle tested rather than opt out (In lieu).

Full Text	www.carcare.azdeq.gov Dealer Fleet Station Handbook Area A (Metro Phoenix) Information for Fleet Station Personnel REV-9-04(2) Introduction This handbook describes the requirements for a licensed motor vehicle dealer to operate a fleet emissions inspection station. Contained within are: Summarizations of the fleet emissions inspection station permitting and inspector licensing processes; lists of required inspection equipment and equipment maintenance/calibration standards; inspection procedures for specific classes of vehicles; record keeping procedures. The inspection procedures outlined in this handbook apply to vehicles specifically held for retail sale. Vehicles other than those held for retail sale (parts truck, courtesy van, loaner vehicle) must be inspected at an official state emissions inspection station. Because dealers typically do not own the required equipment and apply for a permit to inspect diesel powered vehicles, this handbook does not address their inspection. The handbook was developed from laws and regulations found in Arizona Revised Statutes Title 49, Chapter 3, Article 5, and Arizona Administrative Code, Title 18, Chapter 2, Article 10. Under Arizona law, a motor vehicle must pass an emissions inspection prior to registration or re-registration. A motor vehicle sold by a dealer must pass an emissions inspection prior to delivery to the retail purchaser. The dealer is responsible for the cost of the inspection and any repairs necessary to pass the inspection. Permits are issued after the Department has found that the dealership: 1. Maintains an established place of business for the repair and maintenance of the applicant's fleet of vehicles 2. Has approved machinery, tools and equipment to adequately conduct the required emissions inspections 3. Employs properly trained and licensed personnel to perform the necessary labor 4. Agrees to provide data as may be prescribed by the director If you have any questions regarding this handbook, please call the Vehicle Emissions Inspection and Compliance Unit at (602) 207-7000, in Phoenix, or (520) 628-5651, ext.0, in Tucson.

Permitted fleet emissions inspection stations must meet the following requirements: 1. The permitted facility must be exclusively owned or leased by the applicant and must be located inside area A as defined in Arizona Revised Statutes ' 49-541(1). Dealer fleets located within 50 miles of the outer boundary of Area A may qualify for a fleet permit if they certify to the Department that customers who reside in Area A are the primary source of their business. 2. The applicant must own or lease at least 25 non-exempt vehicles. $ A business inventory of at least 25 vehicles held for resale, counted cumulatively over a 12-month period. $ For newly established motor vehicle dealers, the fleet owner must certify the fleet will meet the requirement of 25 non-exempt vehicles, within 12 months. 3. The facility must have a space specifically dedicated to maintaining or repairing at least one fleet vehicle. 4. The applicant must employ a fleet agent who is in charge of day to day operations of the fleet. The fleet agent can be the applicant or a designated employee. The fleet agent must also pass an examination on the rules governing the day-to-day operation of the fleet station. 5. The fleet must employ a licensed emissions inspector to perform inspections on fleet owned vehicles. The licensed inspector must be certified to inspect for the types of vehicles owned or leased by the fleet (the fleet agent and inspector can be the same person). 6. The applicant or employee(s) must own or lease equipment necessary to perform all aspects of the required inspections. 7. The applicant must agree to provide data to the Department as prescribed by the Director. B. Fleet Permit Suspension or Revocation: Fleet station permits do not expire. However, the fleet permit can be suspended or revoked if the fleet owner or employees: 1. Violate any provision of Arizona Revised Statute Title 49, Chapter 3, Article 5 or Arizona Administrative Code Title 18, Chapter 2, Article 10; 1 2. Misrepresent material facts in obtaining a fleet permit; 3. Fail to make, keep and submit pertinent records to the Department; 4. Fail to provide a state inspector access to the information required by law. C. Types of Dealer Fleet Permits (Non-Diesel): 1. Fleet permits are issued to a motor vehicle dealer (dealer fleet) for the inspection of specific vehicles by class. 2. Under the current law, dealer fleet stations must perform the idle or idle and 2500 RPM unloaded tests on all non-diesel vehicles. 3. The following are types of non-diesel permits issued and the equipment requirements for each. 4. Dealer fleets require equipment to perform an idle only or an idle plus 2500 RPM unloaded test. The following test equipment is required: ? ? ? A non-dispersive infra-red CO and HC emissions analyzer that is equipped with a water trap in the sampling line capable of taking undiluted exhaust samples from the vehicle exhaust system; Pressure test equipment for the functional gas cap test capable of determining that the gas cap leakage does not exceed 60cc per minute at 30 inches of water gauge; An ignition-operated tachometer. D. General Dealer Fleet Station Requirements: The following requirements apply to all dealer fleet stations: 1. The fleet permit along with licenses of agents and inspectors employed by the dealer fleet must be prominently displayed within the facility. 2. Whenever an inspector starts or ends employment with a dealer fleet, the fleet station must notify the Department in writing within 7-days of the change in employment status. (Written notification can be done by mail, but the preferred method is E-mail or Fax). The written notification must include; the name and license number of the vehicle emissions inspector; a statement declaring the employment change; the effective date of the employment change. If the fleet=s only licensed inspector leaves the employment of the fleet station the fleet must; immediately cease operating as a fleet inspection station; immediately notify the Department by phone of the change in employment status; within 7-days, the fleet must notify the Department in writing and surrender all unused certificates of inspection to the Department for a refund. 2 3. Whenever a fleet agent is hired, terminated or resigns, the fleet owner must do the following, when applicable: a. When a fleet agent is hired, the fleet must notify the Department within 7-days of the designation of a new fleet agent. This will require the fleet owner to submit a completed "Fleet Agent Designation" form (see attachment). b. When a fleet agent is terminated or resigns, and there is no qualified individual to assume the responsibility of day to day operations, the fleet must; immediately cease operations as a fleet station; immediately notify the Department by phone; notify the Department in writing within 7-days of the change in employment status. c. When a fleet agent is terminated or resigns, and there is a qualified individual (someone who has passed the fleet agent/inspector exam) to assume the responsibility of day-to-day operations, the fleet must notify the Department within 7-days of the designation of a new fleet agent. This will require the fleet owner to submit a completed "Fleet Agent Designation" form (see attachment). 4. The fleet permit is only applicable to the fleet=s inspection facility located at the address on the permit. Additional facilities will require separate permits. A permitted facility that changes its name or address, but retains the same fleet ownership, is required to return the permit to the Department and submit a new permit application. The Department will cancel the returned permit and issue a new permit with the updated information. 5. A duplicate permit for one that has been lost, destroyed or mutilated may be obtained by providing a letter of explanation and request for replacement (include damaged permit, if applicable). If a duplicate permit is issued and the lost permit is later located, the dealer fleet station must immediately return the original to the Department. E. Special Requirement for Dealer Fleets: Written Notice of Purchasers Rights (IM147 disclosure) Motor vehicle dealers that have been issued a fleet emissions inspection station permit are required to provide some purchasers with a written notice of their right to obtain an emissions inspection at a state station after the sale. The written notice is required for the sale of 1981 through 1995 model year vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 8,500 lbs. or less, and have less than one year before the vehicle must undergo a transient loaded test (IM147), or has never taken an IM147 test and is not covered by a federal emissions warranty. Federal emissions warranty is two year/24,000 miles on most emissions components and eight year/80,000 mile for items such as the catalytic converter and computer. The notice must state the following: 3 a. The purchaser has the right to have the vehicle tested within three days (excluding holidays) after the sale at a state emissions inspection station b. If the vehicle fails the emissions inspection, the dealer will do one of the following: ? ? ? Rescind (unwind) the purchase agreement and refund the purchaser the cost of the emissions inspection. Repair the vehicle to pass the emissions inspection at no cost to the purchaser. Enter into a mutually acceptable alternate agreement with the purchaser 4 Section II Fleet Agent & Inspector Licensing A. Licenses: There are four types of vehicle emissions inspector licenses that pertain to permitted fleet facilities. These licenses are designated as follows: "A" Fleet Agent "CF" Non-Diesel Vehicle Inspector "FD" Diesel Vehicle Inspector "CFD" Non-Diesel and Diesel Vehicle Inspector To obtain a license, the applicant must take and pass the appropriate examination(s) relating to the inspector license. Applicants must pass all tests with a minimum score of 80 percent. 1. "A" License requires the applicant to pass the Fleet agent/inspector examination (25 questions) 2. "CF" License requires the applicant to pass the following tests: ? Certified technician examination (75 questions) $ Fleet agent/inspector examination (25 questions) $ Non-diesel inspector examination (25 Questions) 3.

Testing options: 1. Attending the Two-Day Fleet Certification Class: Twice each month, the Department holds a two-day certification class at the Vehicle Emissions Office (600 North 40th Street, Phoenix). The class curriculum covers basic emission control systems, theory and diagnosis, as well as applicable fleet station laws and regulations. If you have not attended a class in the last couple of years, it may be beneficial to do so as you may not be aware of some of the latest program changes. The class is not recommended for applicants seeking 5 the "A" or "FD" license. Applicants planning to attend the class should register 30-days in advance to ensure seating availability. Upon completion of the fleet certification class, applicants should be able to pass all examinations. To register, call our office at (602) 207-7000. 2. Challenging the Test: The Department allows for applicants to challenge the tests and bypass the 2-day fleet certification class. Tests can be challenged every Friday (excluding holidays) between 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. at the Vehicle Emissions Office (600 North 40th Street, Phoenix). Testing by appointment is available; please call our office at (602) 207-7000. If an applicant fails the certified technician examination, the applicant is required to attend the fleet certification class before retaking the examination. 3. Inspector License Renewal and Expiration: To retain the current license expiration date, the inspector must renew the license within 30-days before the expiration date. If the license is allowed to expire, the license expiration will be changed to one year from the date the inspector passed the required examinations. C. Change of Employment Status Inspector and Agent Notification Requirements: A vehicle emissions inspector is required to notify the Department of any change in employment status due to hiring, retirement, resignation, or termination within 7-days of such a change. Please call (602) 207-7000. In addition, the fleet owner or agent is required to notify the Department in writing within 7-days. Written notification may be faxed to (602) 207-7020; e-mailed to Osborne.Adrion@azdeq.gov; or sent by mail to 600 North 40th Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85008. The burden of notifying the Department if a fleet agent is hired, retires, resigns or is terminated falls solely on the fleet owner. The fleet agent is not required to notify the Department. D. Inspector License Revocation: The Department may suspend, revoke or refuse to renew a license if the licensee has violated any provision of Arizona Revised Statutes Title 49, Chapter 3, Article 5, or Arizona Administrative Code Title 18, Chapter 2, Article 10. In addition, an inspector license may be suspended, revoked, or refused to be renewed if the inspector fails to demonstrate proficiency to the Department regarding vehicle inspection procedures. 6 Section III Dealer Fleet Station & Licensed Inspector Auditing Permitted dealer fleet facilities and inspectors are subject to periodic audits by the Department to ensure that emissions inspection and documentation procedures are being followed. Outlined below are the audit types, and the minimum required frequency of each audit. 1. Dealer fleet used motor vehicle sales and compliance with emissions inspection requirements, at least annually; 2. Licensed inspector performance, at least twice annually; 3. Dealer fleet station emissions inspection records, monthly as submitted to the Department. 7 Section IV Equipment Maintenance, Calibration & Auditing Requirements A. All equipment and testing instruments must be maintained in accurate working condition as specified by the manufacturer. Instruments that require a periodic calibration must be calibrated according to the instructions and recommendations of the instrument or equipment manufacturer. B. To maintain registration, non-dispersive infra-red CO and HC analyzers must be checked with approved calibration gases at least monthly by a certified technician. 1. The approved calibration gas will contain a blend of hexane (300 parts per million) and carbon monoxide (1.5 percent) or hexane (300 parts per million), carbon monoxide (1.5 percent), and carbon dioxide (5.0 percent). 2. The analyzer must read the calibration gas within the following tolerances: CO -0.25% to +0.50 % HC -30 ppm to +60 ppm in the range from 0 to 2% (Low Scale) in the range from 0 to 500 ppm (Low Scale) 3. The monthly calibration check should include an inspection of the analyzer=s sampling and filtration systems. 4. The record of the calibration check and any repairs performed must be documented on the analyzer=s repair and calibration history log (VE-160). 5. Analyzers that do not read within the tolerances specified or have leaks or restrictions in the sampling or calibration systems, must be removed from service and cannot be used to perform official emissions inspections until repairs are performed and the analyzer passes a calibration check. C. At least quarterly, the Department will conduct a state calibration audit. The Department may also perform unscheduled audits for analyzer accuracy. The repair and calibration history log (VE-160) must be available to a state inspector during an audit. During a state calibration audit the analyzer must read within following tolerances. CO -0.25% to +0.50 % CO -0.50% to +1.0 % HC -30 ppm to +60 ppm HC -100 ppm to +200 ppm in the range from 0 to 2% (Low Scale) in the range from 0 to 10% (High Scale) in the range from 0 to 500 ppm (Low Scale) in the range from 0 to 2000 ppm (High Scale) 8 D. Analyzers that do not read within the state calibration audit tolerances will be Ared tagged,@ and cannot be used by the fleet for official emissions inspections until: 1. The analyzer has been properly repaired; 2. The analyzer has passed a state calibration audit or vendor calibration audit performed by a certified analyzer repair technician, (analyzers repaired by the manufacturer or out of state repair facility must pass a state calibration audit); 3. The red tag has been removed by a state inspector or certified analyzer repair technician. 9 Section V Time of Inspection, Required Inspections & Inspection Procedures Vehicles to be sold by a licensed motor vehicle dealer, unless exempt (see Section VII) must be emissions inspected prior to delivering to a retail purchaser. Consignment vehicles cannot be emissions inspected by a dealer fleet and must be inspected at a state station. Following are detailed procedures for the types of inspection/test required: A. Curb Idle Test: The curb idle test measures the exhaust emissions with the vehicle stopped and the engine idling at manufacture's specification " 100 RPM. ? ? 1967 through 1980 model year vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, the vehicle shall be tested in drive, with foot brake applied. 1967 through 1980 model year vehicles equipped with a manual transmission the vehicle shall be tested in neutral, with foot brake applied. To perform the curb idle test, insert the exhaust sample probe 8 to 12 inches into the exhaust pipe. Record the HC and CO readings after the readings have stabilized or at the end of 30 seconds, whichever occurs first. ? 1981 and newer model year vehicles; the transmission shall be in neutral, with foot brake applied. To perform the curb idle test, insert the exhaust sample probe 8 to 12 inches into the exhaust pipe. Record the HC and CO readings after the readings have stabilized or at the end of 90 seconds, whichever occurs first. If any vehicle is equipped with multiple exhaust pipes and the analyzer is not capable of sampling multiple pipes, the test must be performed separately on each pipe. Record the HC and CO readings for each pipe and obtain an average. Compare the average results to the maximum allowable. If the vehicle's emissions are above the standard, the engine may be preconditioned by operating it at 2500 rpm " 300 RPM for up to a maximum of 30 seconds. After preconditioning, return the engine speed to curb idle and perform a second idle test. If the emissions levels are below the standard, the vehicle passes the curb idle test. If the vehicle=s emissions levels still exceed the maximum allowable, the vehicle fails inspection and repairs are required. 10 B. Dealer 2,500 RPM Unloaded Fast Idle Test The 2,500 rpm test measures the exhaust emissions with the vehicle stopped, transmission in neutral, and engine operating at an, unloaded 2,500 RPM " 300 RPM. To perform the 2,500 RPM test, insert the exhaust sample probe 8 to 12 inches into the exhaust pipe. Once sampling has begun, increase the engine speed to 2,500 RPM " 300 RPM and hold the speed steady. Record the HC and CO readings after the readings have stabilized or at the end of 30 seconds, whichever comes first. If any vehicle is equipped with multiple exhaust tail pipes and the analyzer is not capable of sampling multiple pipes, the test must be performed separately on each pipe. Record the HC and CO readings for each pipe and obtain an average. Compare the average results to the maximum allowable. C. Visual Gas Cap Inspection The visual gas cap inspection consists of verifying the vehicle has a properly fitting gas cap. The visual inspection is performed on vehicles that were manufactured without evaporative control systems. This includes most 1970 and older vehicles, and many 1984 and older federal heavy-duty trucks. These vehicles are designed to vent fuel tank vapors into the atmosphere. Many 1970 and newer heavy-duty vehicles certified to meet California emission requirements were equipped with evaporative control systems and are subject to a functional gas cap test. D. Functional Gas Cap Test The functional gas cap test determines if the gas cap properly seals, preventing fuel vapor (Hydrocarbons) from escaping into the atmosphere. This test consists of attaching the gas cap to a testing unit that applies pressure and monitors air flow or leakage. The maximum allowable leakage is 60 cubic centimeters of air per minute at 30 inches of water. If the vehicle fails the functional gas cap test, a complete re-inspection is required. A faulty gas cap can cause the evaporative system to malfunction, which may affect emissions. E. Equipment Tampering The tampering inspection is based on the original configuration of the vehicle as manufactured and consists of the following: 1. A visual inspection to determine the presence and proper installation of each required Catalytic converter (if applicable as manufactured); 2. An examination to determine the presence of an operational air injection system (if applicable as manufactured); 11 3. A visual inspection to determine the presence of an operational positive crankcase ventilation system and evaporative control system (if applicable as manufactured). The above components shall be verified by referring to the "VEHICLE EMISSIONS CONTROL INFORMATION" label. The label on many older vehicles may be damaged, missing or unreadable. Refer to an emissions control application guide. 12 Section VI Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Requirements A. Definition of Alternative Fuels: 1. Alternative Fuels and fuel codes are defined as follows: ? ? ? ? (L) Liquified petroleum gas (LPG or Propane) (C) Compressed natural gas/liquified natural gas (M) 70/30 minimum blend of alternative fuel and petroleum based fuel (except alcohol) (A) Alcohol if used in a vehicle prior to August 21, 1998. After that, alcohol is no longer recognized as an alternative fuel by the State of Arizona. This includes M85 and E85 Flex Fuel vehicles 2. Bi-fuel AFV means a vehicle that is capable of operating on an alternative fuel and gasoline. 3. Dedicated AFV means a vehicle that solely operates on an alternative fuel. B. Testing Requirements for Alternative Fuel Vehicles: Vehicles that are powered by alternative fuels are eligible for a current model year plus two previous year exemption. (Note, this is more restrictive than the current plus four model year exemption). AFV's must be inspected according to the Time of Inspection, Required Inspections & Inspection Procedures outlined in Section V, with the following exceptions: Bi-fuel vehicles must pass inspection while operating on each fuel. If the vehicle fails on one or both fuels, a complete re-inspection on each fuel must be performed to be sure that repairs to one system did not affect the other. An inspection of an AFV vehicle operating on compressed natural gas or liquified natural gas requires the use of a correction factor of 0.61 to calculate the true hydrocarbon (HC) readings, when using an NDIR analyzer. The HC exhaust emissions must be multiplied by 0.61. Example: The HC emissions reading during the exhaust pipe emissions inspection is 200 ppm; the HC emissions recorded on the Fleet Vehicle Inspection Report/Monthly Summary would be 122 ppm (200 x 0.61 = 122). 13 Section VII Exempt Vehicles The following vehicles are exempt from inspection requirements: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? A vehicle registered outside of Area "A" that is not used to commute to the driver's place of employment located inside Area "A" A 1966 model year and older vehicle A vehicle sold between motor vehicle dealers (wholesale) An Electrically powered vehicle (does not include hybrid vehicles) A vehicle with apportioned registration (vehicles registered in more than one state) A golf cart (gas or electric) A vehicle with an engine displacement of less than 90 cubic centimeters A vehicle registered at the time of change of name of ownership except when: a. The change of ownership results from a dealer sale, or b. The change in registration is accompanied by the required fee for the year following expiration of the prior registration A vehicle registered with a current Director=s Certificate An original equipment manufactured alternative fuel vehicle of the current or two prior model years A vehicle designed to operate exclusively on hydrogen A vehicle of the current or four prior model years, except; a. A reconstructed vehicle (titled as a reconstruct or special construction); b. An alternative fuel vehicle, as defined in Arizona Revised Statutes; c. A vehicle failing an emissions inspection, whose owner elected to have the vehicle tested rather than opt out (In lieu). ? ? ? ? 14 Section VIII Procedure for Completing the Fleet Vehicle Inspection Report/Monthly Summary (FVIR/MS) A sufficient number of the FVIR/MS forms will be provided at no charge when certificates of inspection are purchased.
