California Emission Certified

[75C10]

If this claim shows up on the SPID, does it indicate the vehicle was first sold in the state of California or were there other states that required Cali Emissions. I have a 77 and an 86 that has this.
Thanks

After California established emission standards many states just adopted these rather than do all the research and testing again. To this day many states require compliance with Calif. standards.

Here is what it looks like in New York as an example;

Unless it is exempt, your vehicle must comply with the California emissions standard if it has less than 7,500 miles on the odometer and is

a model year of 1996 or newer passenger vehicle or light-duty truck that has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 6,000 lbs. or less
a model year 2000 or newer light-duty truck that has a GVWR of 8,500 lbs. or less
a model year 2004 or newer medium duty vehicle that has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 14,000 lbs. or less
a model year 2005 or newer heavy-duty otto-cycle or diesel vehicle that has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) over 14,000 lbs
