What Is CARB DMS?

Manufacturers of new motor vehicles and engines must show compliance with the California emission requirements before they are legal for sale, use, or registration in the state. To show compliance, manufacturers must supply applications and supporting documents to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for certification of their vehicles and engines.

Traditionally, manufacturers have submitted these documents in paper format. They are reviewed by the certification staff and stored at CARB. To reduce the bulk of paper and facilitate the review of documents, CARB has introduced an electronic document management system (CARB DMS). It is an electronic system that allows manufacturers to send via the internet the certification documents to CARB. The CARB DMS collects the documents and routes them to staff for review. Manufacturers may track the progress of their certification and receive approval notification electronically.
