The part is for testing and diagnosis only. This is an important distinction.

Fortunately there is. And I live outside CA for much of the year.
But why jeopardize those who are unfortunate enough to labor under the draconian laws in CA and the other 12 states that use CA Smog laws?
There are other states also use Referees. And in Germany we have TuV ! We don't have SAI here but we do have most of the other smog clutter and AOS

asfaik :Known as "Section 177" states, those 13 are: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.
Someone else may know what % of all Boxsters still running world-wide are in California
BTW the penalties for companies selling smog defeat devices are significant

For many years 1/5th of all Porsches were sold in California

May still be true if you ignore China.
