Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 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.
(b) The manufacturer's software
utilized in a licensed service center by the licensed ignition interlock
technician shall be capable of performing, documenting and reporting the result
of this calibration confirmation test. All data contained in the data storage
system shall be retrieved anytime the device is submitted to maintenance and
calibration. Records may be maintained electronically. Upon completion of
maintenance and calibration of the device, the licensed ignition interlock
technician shall provide the participant a report showing the maintenance and
calibration of the device.
(c)
Outside the State of Oklahoma, maintenance and calibration of a device required
for compliance with an Installation Authority, shall be completed in accordance
with the rules in this section with the exception that the technician and
service center performing applicable services shall be appropriately authorized
pursuant to their jurisdictional authority.
