Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 661 - Public Safety Department › Chapter 158 - Ignition Interlock Devices › Rule 661-158.6 - Mandatory Operational Features

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
In addition to any requirements established elsewhere in this
				chapter, an approved IID shall comply with the following.
(1) The IID shall be designed and constructed
			 to measure a person's breath alcohol concentration by utilizing a sample of the
			 person's breath delivered directly into the IID.
(2) The IID shall be designed and constructed
			 so that the ignition system of the vehicle in which it is installed will not be
			 activated if the breath alcohol concentration of the person using the IID
			 exceeds 0.025 BrAC.
(3) The IID
			 shall prevent engine ignition if the IID has not been calibrated within 67 days
			 subsequent to the last calibration. Calibration may be required more frequently
			 at the discretion of the manufacturer or the ASP.
Exception: The laboratory administrator may approve a device
				using fuel cell technology to be recalibrated within 187 days of the previous
				calibration provided that the device passes specific precision and
				functionality testing approved by the laboratory administrator and carried out
				by the laboratory or an independent laboratory acceptable to the laboratory
				administrator.
(4) The IID
			 shall record every instance when the vehicle is started, the results of the
			 breath sample test, how long the vehicle was operated, and any indications that
			 the IID may have been tampered with or bypassed.
(5) The IID shall require the operator to
			 submit to a random retest within 10 minutes of starting the vehicle. A minimum
			 of two additional random retests shall occur within 60 minutes of starting the
			 vehicle, and a minimum of two random retests shall occur within every 60
			 minutes thereafter. Random retests may be achieved during operation of the
			 vehicle. The IID shall enter a lockout condition within five days if two or
			 more violations are recorded in a single monitoring period. An IID may, at the
			 discretion of the manufacturer or the ASP, enter a lockout condition on the
			 basis of a single violation.
(6)
			 The IID shall permit a sample-free restart for a maximum period of two minutes
			 unless the IID has initiated a random retest, in which case the operator must
			 successfully perform a breath sample test before the vehicle may be
			 restarted.
(7) The IID shall
			 automatically and completely purge residual alcohol before allowing subsequent
			 tests.
(8) The IID shall be
			 installed in such a manner that it will not interfere with the normal operation
			 of the vehicle after the vehicle has been started.
(9) The IID shall be equipped with a method
			 of immediately notifying peace officers if the retest required by subrule
			 158.6(5) is not performed or if the result of a random retest exceeds the
			 alcohol concentration of 0.025 BrAC. Examples of acceptable forms of
			 notification are repeated honking of the vehicle's horn and repeated flashing
			 of the vehicle's headlights. Such notification may be disabled only by
			 switching the engine off or by achievement of a retest at a level below 0.025
			 BrAC.
(10) Each IID shall be
			 uniquely identified by a serial number. Along with any other information
			 required by the DOT or by an originating court, all reports to the DOT or to an
			 originating court concerning a particular IID shall include the name, address,
			 and driver's license number of the lessee and the unique serial number of the
			 IID. The name, address, telephone number, and contact person of the
			 manufacturer or the ASP furnishing the report shall also be included as part of
			 the report.
