13  Alcohol breath tests—procedures
 (1) An alcohol breath test for section 35 or 36 of the Act must be conducted using an approved device for the test.
 (2) If an Immigration and Border Protection worker undergoes an alcohol breath test as directed under subsection 35(1) of the Act, and the test indicates the presence of alcohol, the worker may ask the authorised tester who conducted the test to arrange for the worker also to undergo an alcohol blood test.
 (3) However, neither a request for an alcohol blood test to be conducted nor the conduct of an alcohol blood test absolves the Immigration and Border Protection worker from the obligation to undergo an alcohol breath test.
 (4) If the Immigration and Border Protection worker asks that an alcohol blood test be conducted, the authorised tester conducting the alcohol breath test must take all reasonable steps to contact a person authorised to conduct an alcohol blood test.
 (5) As soon as practicable after an alcohol breath test is conducted, the authorised tester conducting the test must give a certificate to:
 (a) the Immigration and Border Protection worker who provided the breath sample; and
 (b) the authorised person who directed that the worker undergo the test.
 (6) The certificate must state the following information:
 (a) the type and serial number of the approved device used to conduct the test;
 (b) the sample number of the test;
 (c) the unique identifying number relating to the Immigration and Border Protection worker tested;
 (d) the full name of the authorised tester who conducted the test (and, if the authorised tester is employed or engaged to conduct the test by a company which is authorised under subsection 6(3), the full name and address of the company);
 (e) whether the authorised tester conducted a self‑test on the approved device before and after the analysis;
 (f) if the authorised tester conducted a self‑test:
 (i) the time and result of the self‑test; and
 (ii) whether the self‑test was conducted on override mode;
 (g) the date on which, and the time at which, the test was conducted;
 (h) the result of the test as shown by the approved device.
