Executive order parts and aftermarket parts in California defined--- arb.ca.gov Automotive emissions account for over 50% of all smog-forming pollutants in California. To improve air quality, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) requires vehicle manufacturers to develop engine and emission equipment systems that reduce the specific pollutants that cause California's severe air quality problem. These emission control systems are also required to be proven durable and reliable. To ensure that these systems operate as designed, California Vehicle Code Section 27156 and the Federal Clean Air Act prohibit modifications that increase motor vehicle emissions. Since if properly designed, most performance modifications do not increase vehicle emissions, these same laws also allow the installation of parts or modifications proven by their manufacturers and the ARB not to increase vehicle emissions. All aftermarket parts in California belong to one of the following three groups: 1.Replacement parts Replacement parts are made by aftermarket part manufacturers to replace original equipment. These parts are legal to use as long as the manufacturer has shown that they are functionally identical to the part they are replacing. 2.Legal add on or modified parts (Executive order parts) Exempted parts are add-on or modified parts that have undergone an ARB engineering evaluation. If the part or modification is shown to not increase vehicle emissions, it is granted an exemption to emission control system anti-tampering laws. This exemption is called an Executive Order (EO) and allows the modification to be installed on specific emission controlled vehicles. Every Executive Order part or modification has an assigned number that can be verified by Smog Check stations, BAR Referee stations, or by the ARB. 3.Competition or racing use only parts Competition or racing parts are those that have not been proven by their manufacturer to not increase vehicle emissions. These parts are not legal for use on any pollution controlled vehicle. These parts may only be used on closed course racing or competition vehicles or on off-road vehicles manufactured prior to the introduction of emissions control standards (uncontrolled vehicles). CT
