Non-CARB means that is non compliant with California standards for their emission requirements.
Evaporative Emission System High Purge Flow. Relates to your vehicles OBDII compliant system for monitoring vehicle emissions.
Basically it means that the item complies with law regarding its composition. California seems to be the only state forcing lead compliant and nickel compliant laws, setting limits on how much of these elements can be present in order to be safe.
CARB is an acronym for California Air Resource Board, whose stringent air-quality standards have been adopted by many states. A Non-CARB Compliant Engine fails to meet these standards. While CARB-compliant engines run cleaner than non-compliant models, they still emit pollutants.
ifi compliant
Only one state remains with ambiguous carb-compliant catalytic converter laws. All states are completely carb-compliant with the exception of California.
California I think the question was what country has the toughest emission standards.
CARB Regulation 93120 is a California regulation that sets limits on formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products such as plywood and particleboard. Being "formaldehyde compliant" means that the product meets the emission limits set by this regulation, ensuring that it releases low levels of formaldehyde gas into the air. This is important for indoor air quality and health, as formaldehyde exposure can have harmful effects.
there should be a eng. info and emission sticker in the eng compartment it will say California emission on it
Original answer to question :"It means that it is not safe to handle or breathe and quickly get rid of the product in question and wash your hands immediately afterwards!"The answer most people see is above and is blatantly incorrect as California has the highest standards in the country in regards to Formaldehyde emissions, see below excerpt from CARB:What does "California 93120 Compliant for Formaldehyde" or "California Phase 2 Compliant" mean and why is this label showing up on more products?The label seen on panels and finished goods indicates that the product meets the California Air Resources Board's (CARB) stringent emission standards for formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products, including HWPW, PB, and MDF. The CWP Regulation took effect in 2009, and manufacturers and fabricators of finished goods that use any of these materials are required to use composite wood that meets the formaldehyde emission limits in the CWP Regulation. They are also required to label their products as complying, either on the products or the packaging for the finished goods. Manufacturers typically will label their products as "California 93120 Compliant for Formaldehyde" or "California Phase 2 Compliant," although other variations may also be used. California's CWP Regulation is one of the most stringent regulations in effect to limit formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products. As of today, the CWP Regulation is only being implemented in California; other states have not adopted similar regulations. However, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is developing a national regulation based on California's regulation, which is expected to be in effect nationwide by 2014.Be thankful that California is requiring these steps as there are plenty of products manufactured that you use everyday that contain high amounts of Formaldehyde but are not disclosed. So don't throw the product away be assured that it was tested while others may not have been tested, look for the label and buy products that are tested and labeled, be an informed consumer.Resources:visit the California Air Resource Board for more information.

Compliant means that a person is following a certain set of rules. A person that is compliant is following orders to the letter.
