Canada proposes emission standards for large off-road SI engines and stationary CI engines

12 March 2019

Environment and Climate Change Canada published the proposed Off-road Compression-Ignition (Mobile and Stationary) and Large Spark-Ignition Engine Emission Regulations in Canada Gazette, Part I.

The proposed new emission standards apply to large spark-ignition (SI) engines and stationary compression-ignition (CI) engines. The regulations would also incorporate the existing standards for mobile off-road CI engines into one regulatory act. The proposed emission standards are aligned with those of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The proposed regulations would apply to three classes of engines that are imported into Canada or manufactured in Canada:

It is expected that the proposed regulations would come into force approximately 6 months after publication of the final Regulations in the Canada Gazette, Part II, which is targeted for Spring 2020.

The current Off-Road Compression-Ignition Engine Emission Regulations continue to apply until the proposed Regulations come into force.
