Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) The
				maintenance and calibration of a device shall be completed according to the
				following guidelines:
(1) The device shall
				enter a permanent lockout if the device has not been checked for calibration
				accuracy within sixty-five (65) days subsequent to the last check for
				calibration accuracy.
(2) The
				maintenance and calibration of the device shall only be performed by ignition
				interlock technicians duly licensed by the Board who shall perform a visual
				inspection of the vehicle, the device, and the device's wiring to ensure no
				tampering or circumvention has occurred.
(3) The maintenance and calibration will
				consist of, but not be limited to, a check of the device to determine:
(A) The device is configured to the
				specifications required in this title.
(B) The anti circumvention features are
				activated and properly functioning.
(C) The device is in calibration.
(D) The device is installed in an operable
				vehicle as defined in this title.
(i) The
				device shall be subjected to a calibration confirmation test. This test shall
				consist of introducing a sample from a calibration standard approved by these
				rules into the device.
(I) Calibration
				standard(s) shall be an alcohol concentration equivalent to a range of 0.020
				g/210L to 0.050 g/210L plus or minus (+/-) 0.005 g/210L of the stated alcohol
				concentration.
(II) Only dry gas
				calibration standards appearing on the Conforming Products List of Calibrating
				Units for Breath Alcohol Testers (77 FR 64588) published by the National
				Highway Traffic Safety Administration may be employed in the maintenance and
				calibration of the ignition interlock device.
(III) Calibration standards shall be operated
				in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, unless modified by the
				Board or its designee, and shall be maintained in proper working order. This
				includes, but is not limited to, any required altitude adjustment.
(IV) Preparatory documentation (such as a
				certificate of analysis) stating the alcohol concentration on the calibration
				gas standard must be available for inspection while the gas standard is being
				utilized.
(ii) The
				calibration confirmation test shall verify the accuracy of the ignition
				interlock device to be within plus or minus (±) 0.01 g/210L of the
				stated alcohol concentration, unless modified by the Board en banc.
(iii) Should the ignition interlock device
				fail the calibration confirmation test:
(I)
				The ignition interlock device shall be recalibrated so as to restore accuracy
				before the device may be placed into service.
(II) That information shall be provided to
				the Board or its designee and/or the Installation Authority and/or the monitor
				upon request.
(iv) If
				the device fails to meet the requirements in this section, the device shall be
				removed from service and simultaneously replaced with a device that
				successfully meets the requirements in this section. All data contained in the
				data storage of the device being replaced shall be retrieved upon replacement.
				Records may be maintained electronically.
