Some jurisdictions are already adopting EVR. Others are considering adopting EVR or certain portions of the requirements. Still others are taking a wait and see position as EVR progresses. One thing is certain: virtually all jurisdictions will accept new EVR equipment; some will not accept old CARB-approved equipment. SHOULD YOU CONSIDER UPGRADING TO THE NEW EVR EQUIPMENT? Some important facts to consider when developing an equipment strategy in the face of the uncertain regulatory environment: 1. Equipment certified under previous CARB regulations is decertified as the new EVR standards take effect. There is no mechanism by which this equipment can become re -certified to the old standards. Likewise, no new or improved equipment can become certified to the old CARB requirements (CARB will only certify equipment to the new EVR requirements). The old CARB regulations, and therefore equipment approved under the previous CARB requirements, will become obsolete. 2. It seems inevitable that EVR will become the new standard in many jurisdictions. Now that EVR equipment is available, jurisdictions that follow CARB will be compelled to adopt the new, more stringent EVR standards. 3. The performance of the new EVR equipment is superior. The EVR requirements and testing protocol force manufacturers to develop more robust, ever tighter, and more reliable products. 4. Installing EVR certified equipment provides a higher level of protection against fugitive emissions and pressure decay test failures. 5. Installing EVR certified equipment provides a ient safe fueling environment and enhances air quality. WHY LOOK TO OPW FOR YOUR VAPOR RECOVERY EQUIPMENT?
