CA has an equal protection clause in its state amendment. The plaintiff can claim unequal treatment that impacts on their business.

I'm not sure it's an equal protection violation. The CA-DOJ seems to enforce the law against all manufacturers with equal stringency. The smaller manufacturers have been free to operate in the free market, under the same regulations as larger manufactuers, and if the free market hasn't blessed them with enough success to be able to afford to participate in the tests, that's not the state's problem.
