1. Each device that prevents an intoxicated person from starting a vehicle must be calibrated, tested and examined by the manufacturer or his or her agent at least once every 90 days.
2. The calibration must include:
(a) Verification by the manufacturer or his
or her agent of the response and accuracy of the device at no less than two
levels of alcohol, within the range that corresponds to a concentration of
alcohol in the breath of 0.02 to 0.10 grams, inclusive, of alcohol per 210
liters of breath. The accuracy of the device must be within 10 percent of the
value of the standard alcohol solution for each level.
(b) The response of the device to breath
samples that do not contain alcohol.
(c) Verification that the device prevents the
motor vehicle in which it is installed from starting if the concentration of
alcohol in a person's breath is equal to or greater than 0.02 grams of alcohol
per 210 liters of breath.
3. Each device must meet the following requirements established by the Committee:
(a)
Ability to sample a minimum volume of expired breath that is required to test a
person's breath;
(b) Ability to
test a minimum concentration of alcohol in the breath that is required to
prevent the motor vehicle from starting and a minimum concentration of alcohol
in the breath that is required for subsequent tests of the person's breath
while the person is driving the motor vehicle;
(c) Requirements for calibrating a device
before installation;
(d) Options
for restricting the hours of operation of the vehicle;
(e) The frequency with which the device will
require a person's breath to be tested while driving the motor vehicle;
and
(f) The ability of the device
to prevent a person who has the device installed in his or her motor vehicle
from starting the vehicle if the person:
(1)
Fails to submit the device for a mandatory calibration;
(2) Tampers with the device; or
(3) Receives a result on the test of the
person's breath that is at or above a prohibited level.
4. If any evidence of tampering with the device is found, the device must not be used.
