Whenever considering new equipment for testing for butterfat or other components in milk, the testing agency must notify the creamery license division at least ninety (90) days prior to beginning use of the new equipment and must obtain permission from the creamery license division to use the new equipment for pay testing of milk of Indiana producers. The following provisions must be observed in using equipment other than the Babcock test:
(1) At the beginning of each testing day, the following items must be checked and recorded:
