Who is a Canadian engine manufacturer?
A person engaged in the business of manufacturing vehicles, engines or equipment in Canada is a company under CEPA 1999. Under CEPA 1999, “to manufacture” includes any process of assembling or altering any engine before its sale to the first retail purchaser. Therefore a person who modifies an engine before it is sold, for example by adapting a diesel engine to run on natural gas, would be considered to be a company for the purposes of the Regulations. The Regulations apply to engines manufactured in Canada if they are “transported within Canada” (i.e., transported between provinces or territories). Engines manufactured in Canada that are transported between provinces or territories require a national emissions mark (see Chapter 5).
