A Valid HD I/M Compliance Certificate Is Essential for Staying on the Road

Starting in 2023, the CARB HD I/M program will affect large vehicles throughout the state.

To keep your vehicles on the road, you must register them with the HD I/M database and provide testing information twice a year. Failure to keep your truck in compliance will result in the denial of your registration.

Every truck in your fleet that is forced off the road due to non-compliance is not generating income. Citations can happen unexpectedly. CARB will be using roadside emissions monitoring devices throughout the state to measure the output of trucks on the road. However, a testing notice doesn’t need to be an emergency.

The compliance experts at Be CARB Compliant will help you stay ahead of HD I/M requirements. We keep digital records of all your vehicles and can tell when they are due for their next opacity test, diesel engine inspection, or OBD data submission. Let us handle the HD I/M details so that you can focus on your business.

Questions About CAARB HD I/M?

Below Are Some Common Questions About HD I/M Regulations

What vehicles do the HD I/M regulations apply to?

All heavy-duty diesel trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating of 14,000 lbs must have a compliance certificate.

How often should I submit test results?

Older trucks must submit smoke opacity test results twice a year under the program. Trucks with an on-board diagnostic system can submit data remotely. The digital records we keep for you at Be CARB Compliant will simplify this task.

What do I have to do to stay in HD I/M compliance?

You must register your vehicle with the program and submit emissions testing results on time. You must resolve any outstanding compliance issues and pay an annual fee as well.

What happens if I fail to get a compliance certificate?

Heavy-duty trucks lacking an active compliance certificate will face registration denial. Keeping your CAARB compliance current is essential for your business operations.

I received a Notice to Submit for Testing. What should I do?

Alongside truck testing, CARB is deploying remote diesel engine inspection equipment across the state. Receiving a Notice to Submit (NST) indicates that your vehicle did not pass the spot check. To maintain your CAARB compliance, it’s essential to have your truck tested and make the necessary repairs to address the issue.
