[ CCATS ] CNG Certified Automotive Technicians
CCATS (Certified CNG Automotive Technicians for Safety) was officially organized on January 13, 2009. It was formed in response to the UHP ruling that non EPA Certified CNG Installs were automatically unsafe and illegal to drive in Utah. CCATS members contend that ALL CNG INSTALLS whether EPA or not need to be tested for Safety and Emissions. If an install is safe and clean it should be legal.
CCATS currently has 8 members on its Governing Board and is open to any number of supporting members, contributing members and specialists.
Our Governing Board has in excess of 250 combined years of automotive experience. There are members on the Governing Board who have been doing safety and emission testing for the state of Utah since the inception of these programs. All voting members are certified or qualified in testing and repair of CNG systems, ASE certified A1, A6, A8, F1 and are certified CSA Inspectors for High Pressure Cylinder systems.
Our goal here at CCATS is to put thousands of safe, clean running CNG vehicles on the road and have Utah take the lead in demonstrating a viable, efficient system of certifying these vehicles on a regular basis. CCATS feels that education is the key to accomplishing this goal; educating the UHP, working with and educating various state agencies as well as educating the general public are all vital to our overall goal. CCATS will provide this education through our website, informational seminars, technical training, brochures and videos.

Certified Automotive Technicians for Safety (CCATS) Proposes:
1- Providing CNG informational materials to share with the general public.
2- Creating Safety and Emission inspection procedures for CNG vehicles.
3- Providing CCATS training programs for UHP Inspectors, CNG Mechanics and CNG repair shops.
The implementation of these programs will:
1- Encourage more people to safely convert to CNG.
2- Contribute to safer highways and better air quality.
We all want clean air and safe vehicles. This proposal provides a way to encourage more CNG vehicles on the road, not less. Implementing this program can set an example to the United States and the rest of the world. Our CNG training, testing, certification and informational materials can be shared with others to promote clean, economical, safe fuel alternatives, and help reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

Jim Younkin
