The Verify system provides a Web interface to the EPA and California Air Resources Board
(CARB). Using this interface, authorized users are able to create, edit, save, load, and validate
their data for submittal to EPA, once their CDX accounts have been established. Below is the
CDX site link for Nonroad Confirmatory Testing for Small Spark-Ignition (SI) and Compression-
Ignition (CI) Engines (http://www.epa.gov/otaq/cert/eng-cert/confirmatorv/index.htm).
Step 1. Establish a Manufacturer Code and CDX User Account
This document provides step-by-step guidance to lead you through the necessary steps
for using the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Verify compliance information
system to submit your engine test data for the National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions
Laboratory (NVFEL) engine testing program. To send documents to EPA you must first
do the following:
1. Request an EPA Manufacturer Code.
2. Create CDX user accounts for everyone that will be submitting data to EPA.
Once you have your EPA manufacturer code and CDX user accounts you must
complete the Small SI Confirmatory Test Engine Information for a Spark-Ignition engine
or the CI Confirmatory Test Engine Information for a Compression-Ignition engine.
