The one‑star label identifies personal watercraft, outboard,
sterndrive and inboard engines that meet the Air
Resources Board's Personal Watercraft and Outboard
marine engine 2001 exhaust emission standards. Engines
meeting these standards have 75% lower emissions than
conventional carbureted two‑stroke engines. These
engines are equivalent to the U.S. EPA's 2006 standards
for marine engines.
The two‑star label identifies personal watercraft, outboard,
sterndrive and inboard engines that meet the Air
Resources Board's Personal Watercraft and Outboard
marine engine 2004 exhaust emission standards. Engines
meeting these standards have 20% lower emissions than
One Star ‑ Low‑Emission engines.
The three‑star label identifies engines that meet the Air
Resources Board's Personal Watercraft and Outboard
marine engine 2008 exhaust emission standards or the
Sterndrive and Inboard marine engine 2003 exhaust
emission standards. Engines meeting these standards
have 65% lower emissions than One Star ‑ Low Emission
engines.
The Four Star label identifies engines that meet the Air
Resources Board's Sterndrive and Inboard marine engine
2009 exhaust emission standards. Personal Watercraft
and Outboard marine engines may also comply with these
