Under the rule, street sweeper manufacturers are required to certify their equipment “pick-up efficiency” is at least 80 percent. It has been more than five years since any certification testing has been conducted and there is now a need to ensure that the overall performance of the sweepers can still be demonstrated in the event the manufacturer changes parts suppliers and/or modifies any sweeper specification from that on the originally configured model. The proposed amendment would require submission of data to demonstrate that the sweeper performance has not been affected by these changes and to establish a process that aftermarket parts suppliers may qualify to sell replacement parts while maintaining original certification.
