Fleet Emissions Testing Compliance Handbook Introduction This handbook has been developed to assist and inform entities that are eligible to receive a fleet emissions testing permit in Arizona. ADEQ issues two types of fleet emissions testing permits – Government and Non-Government. The procedures and requirements in this handbook apply to both types of permits unless it is explicitly stated otherwise. This handbook describes the fleet station permitting process, the types of permits issued by ADEQ, emissions inspector licenses, required inspection equipment, equipment maintenance procedures, inspection procedures, and record keeping procedures. The handbook was developed from laws and regulations found in Arizona Revised Statutes (A. R.S. ) Title 49, Chapter 3, Article 5, and Arizona Administrative Code (A.A.C. ), Title 18, Chapter 2, Article 10. This handbook is not law, and is only meant to assist individuals, governments, and businesses who have received a fleet emissions testing permit pursuant to the previously stated laws and regulations. A fleet emissions testing permit will allow for the inspection of fleet vehicles by fleet personnel at the fleet’s facility. The permits are issued after the department has found that the facility: 1. Maintains an established place of business for the repair and maintenance of the applicant's fleet of vehicles. 2. Has obtained approved machinery, tools and equipment to adequately conduct the required emissions inspections. 3. Employs properly trained and licensed personnel with which to perform the necessary labor. 4. Agrees to provide data as may be prescribed by the director. This program may be especially useful for motor vehicle dealers. A. R.S. §49-542 mandates that every non-exempt motor vehicle sold by a dealer is required to 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. Governments and non-dealer businesses can also take advantage of the program to ensure that the vehicles they operate comply with emissions testing requirements in the state. ADEQ issues government vehicle certificates of inspection (GVCOIs) to government fleet stations so those entities can comply with A. R.S. §49-557. All other entities are issued certificates of inspection (COIs) that can be used to register the vehicle. ADEQ now offers a new way to meet the requirements of the fleet emissions testing program – themyDEQ web portal. MyDEQ allows permittees to order & purchase COIs online, submit testing results through the web portal, and enables paper free management of an emissions inspecting workforce.
