Cite as 9 Va. Admin. Code § 5-91-160
Emission Standards for Motor Vehicle Air Pollution
A. No motor vehicle subject to the two-speed idle test shall discharge carbon monoxide (CO), or hydrocarbons (HC) in its exhaust emissions in excess of standards set forth in Table III-A when measured with a certified analyzer system and in accordance with the two-speed idle inspection procedures prescribed in Part VI ( 9VAC5-91-410 et seq.).
B. The measured concentration of CO plus CO 2 shall be greater than or equal to 6.0%.
C. The standards in Table III-A may be adjusted by no more than one percentage point for CO and 150 ppm for HC in order to meet the requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency or the federal Clean Air Act.
