On-Road Vehicle ECL Labeling Requirement
What are the ENGINE EMISSION CONTROL LABEL (ECL) requirements?
The Engine Emission Control Label (ECL) is a label that the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) places on the block of your engine. It contains vital information regarding your engine: engine manufacturer, engine model, family, model year, on-road or off-road, engine use, and engine emission certification. The engine serial number is usually found on the engine itself.
Because this ECL data is extremely important, care should be taken to preserve it.
We highly recommend that you avoid using pressure washers or steam cleaners around the placement area . If the label is no longer readable, you must contact the engine manufacturer to request a replacement (cost is around $100.00). It is suggested that you take a picture of the ECL label and keep it in your business files. As a backup, it is recommended that you provide a copy of the ECL photo to BeCarbCompliant for your client file.
