TMI Information
 The information found in TMI reflects how a specific engine
serial number was labeled by Caterpillar Inc. Not every engine
of the same arrangement number or serial number range is
label the same way. Assuming that you have two engine
arrangement with similar serial numbers are labeled the same
may lead to incorrect reporting.

TMI Information
 TMI information is the safe source to know how a specific engine
serial number was labeled by Caterpillar Inc. The label dictates if
it is certified and to what certification family.
 The Emission Data values found on the TMI emission data screen
is for the specific rating that the engine search on was set at by
the engine manufacturing facility. These are the emissions out of
this particular engine rating not the engine certification family
which may have different values.

at this time.
 Emission information for industrial, Caterpillar machines ® can start from 1996
regulations and EPG engines start from 2007, for information on pre 2007 EPG
engine you need to use the Performance Data Screen in TMI.
 MHI engines are not listed in TMI at this time. MHI does their own certification
and labeling.

Labeling Rules:
 A rating can not contain the certification level higher then what
the current model year regulated level is. If a rating meets Tier
4 emission levels however the given model year requires only
Tier 3 regulations then an engine manufacturer can not legally
label an engine as a Tier 4 engine with a Tier 4 Family. The
given engine would be labeled as a Tier 3 engine and may
participate in a average, banking or trading (ABT) program.

Re-rating:
 If an engine has been re-rated which mean a dealer
or customer has re-flashed an ECM in the field with a
new software file the emission data screen will not
show any emission information. The system does
not have any way of knowing to what rating the
engine has been flashed to and therefore can not
show the emission data for that serial number. This
will happen even if the engine was re-flashed to the
same rating as it was originally set at by the
manufacturing plant.

TMI Information
 An engine manufacturer can not label a new engine off the assembly
line with a non-current family code. If the current year is 2007 you can
not put 2005 family code numbers on new engines.

The Family Code is the certification number assigned to a grouping of horsepower ratings that are
submitted to regulator bodies by Caterpillar Inc. as well as all diesel engine manufacturers. A
Caterpillar family code consists of 12 character. An example of a family code is 6CPXL27.0HRK.
The first digit tells you the year. For the years of 1996-2000 Caterpillar used letter. T = 1996,
V=1997, W=1998, X=1999, Y=2000. For 2001 = 1 and so on.

The family itself will not tell you if it falls into any programs. The as shipped certification line is
where you need to look to get this information. Family codes change every year. Ratings listed
within a family code can change at any time so you can not assume that just because a specific
engine arrangement serial number was label under family code XXX that every serial number of that
engine arrangement will be labeled the same. Each serial number is labeled according to it’s
shipping requirements.

For a flexed engine the family code that is displayed is the last family code that engine rating
was certified under. This information only will show in TMI. The label on a replacement
engine states only that it is a replacement engine. A engine manufacturer by law can not place
past family code numbers on engines. Only family codes for the current model year can appear
on engine labels.

The Family certification is the certification level that appears on the certificate issued by EPA and
CARB. This is the emission level that the family code has been certified to. The emission level
may not be the emission level that the engine actually puts out. In the case of a ABT (Average,
Banking or Trading) family, Caterpillar is using or banking credits to obtain a specific certification
level.

In the case of trading the engine would be actually producing Tier 1 emission levels, however by
trading credit Caterpillar was able to certify the family at Tier 2 levels. To verify what level your
specific engine rating is producing you need to look at the Cycle Steady State gaseous emissions
located lower on this page.

These are the emission levels that this engine’s specific rating is capable of achieving using EPA’s
specified certification fuel. These emission values are the 8 mode steady state emissions. If rated
point emissions are needed an email needs to be sent to engine_certification@cat.com . This
emission data is Caterpillar's best estimate for this rating. If actual emission levels are required then
an emission test needs to be run on your engine.

Frequently asked Questions and Answers
Where can I find the Family Code for my engine?

Family codes are only used by EPA and CARB regulators. If your engine was certified under
EPA and/or CARB regulations then the family code can be located on the certification label located on
your engine located either on the valve cover, the front cover, or on the engine oil cooler. If you do not
have easy access to the engine the family code can also be found on the TMI Data emission screen by
searching using the engine serial number.

How do I know where I am legal to run my machine and where
I can’t?
Federal regulation only apply to new engines from the engine manufacturing companies.
There are no federal mandates that state you can not operate an engine manufactured in prior years
and does not meet current emission standards. Engines may be labeled to only run in EPA regulated
areas or EU only areas. To verify how the engine you have was labeled by Caterpillar Inc. refer to
the “As shipped certification” line on the TMI emission data screen. You can also look at the
certification label. The lines under the rating information tell you if you are legal to run in EU and
EPA/CARB regulated areas. The first line states conforms to directive 97/68/EC which is EU
standards and the second state EPA and California conformity. If you only see the top or bottom
you are only legal to run in that area specified. (continue)
Back Table
Next of Contents
How do I know where I am legal to run my machine and

where I can’t?
There can be state or local regulation in place that can mandate that you can only run
your engine for a set amount of time or during certain times of the day. They can also regulate the
amount of emissions that are allowed out of the machine for on a job site, mining location or
construction project. For this information you must work with your local and state air boards to
obtain their latest information. When bidding for construction jobs consult the contract for
emission stipulations.

What Tier Level is my engine certified at?
The certified tier level is the tier level that appears on the certificate that is issue to the engine
manufacture by the regulator agencies.
The level on the certificate may not be the emission out of your engine. The certification level seen
on the certificate can be obtained thru Average, Banking and Trading Programs. The certification
level is for the engine family not for a individual engine serial number. (continue)
Next Back Table

of Contents
What Tier Level is my engine certified at?
This information can be found on the certificate that can be obtained from regulatory agencies and
on the TMI emission data screen in the Family Certification line.
Next Back Table

of Contents
What emission tier level is my engine putting out?
The emission level that is coming out of your engine can be found on the TMI emission
data screen for engines that have EPA certification status. You will need to obtain the
emission numbers off the TMI emission data screen and then compare the emission out
to an emission tier level chart. The tier level out of your engine may not match that tier
level printed on the certificate. If a engine family is participating in a program you can
have a certified level for the family of Tier 3 but the emission out of the engines are Tier
1 when an family is using credits. The emission on the TMI emission data screen are
Caterpillar best estimates for the emission out of your engine. If actual emission are
required an emission test needs to be preformed on your engine. Make sure you are
looking at the correct units also.

How do I know if my engine is being flexed or participating in

some other program?
There are a couple quick checks that will tell you this. First by looking into the TMI emission data
screen you will see in the As Shipped Certification line FEL in the name indicating this family is
participating in a ABT program. You will also see on the CARB certificate FEL in the emission data
information. (continue)

Then compare the Family Certification Tier
level to the cycle stead state gaseous
emissions data. In this example the Tier
level states Tier 2 but the emission out is at
Tier 1 levels. This is a good indication you
have a engine that is using credits.

Why does the CARB certificate for the family of my engine

state that my engine is certified to Tier 3 levels but the values
I was given for the emission out of my engine are at Tier 1
levels?
This means that Caterpillar has chosen to participate this engines family in a program.
To know which level you need to list on a contract or fleet averaging program you
need to consult your local air board. The ARB is allowing the certification level up to
2010.

If I update my “prime product mover” screen in DBS to include the

new repower engine, TMI eventually includes this new engine
arrangement for my machine serial number, will the emission screen
include the new repower emission information or the information for
the original engine?
The emission data in the TMI screen is engine serial number specific. The
emission data that will be displayed will be the emission data for the new engine
not the original engine information.
Next Back Table

of Contents
What should I do if emissions data is not available for my

engine?
First thing you need to do is make sure you have a Caterpillar Machine, Industrial or EPG
engine. These are the only engines that have emission data loaded into TMI at this time.
Next, make sure that the ‘As Shipped’ Certification line does not read ‘non-certified’. This
means that your engine was built prior to 1996, and prior to off-road emission certification
requirements with the EPA or CARB. You may also want to consult the build date for
verification. (continue)
Next Back Table

of Contents
What should I do if there is no emissions data for my

engine?
IF you have EU listed in the As Shipped Certification line you also will not get emission data
due to the emission values that are displayed are from test run on EPA certified fuel. EU
only engines are not tested with this fuel therefore the emission values would be incorrect for
that certification. You also need to check to make sure your engine was not re-rated. If it
was re-rated you will not get any emission data on the screen. In this case you need to email
for this information. Please indicate you have a re-rated engine and to what software it was
re-flashed with. (continue)

If I replace my engine in my cat machine or install an emission

upgrade package, what steps are needed to update TMI with this

Once you have completed the new engine installation you need to update the machine history
in SIMS with the new engine serial number and arrangement. TMI will get the updated
information from SIMS and reflect the new engines emissions. The emission upgrade groups
do not show in TMI at this time so you will not get the new emission information from the
TMI emission data screen. You will have to email enginecertification@cat.com to get the
new emission data.
