Section 1340-03-06-.08 - BAIID INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

(1) A BAIID shall be installed, serviced, and removed in all makes and models of motor vehicles only by technicians who have been certified by the manufacturer of the BAIID in the installation, servicing, and removal of such device.

(2) Under no circumstances will the participant be allowed to watch the installation or removal of the BAIID. Adequate security measures shall be taken to ensure that the installations and removals of BAIIDs shall not be visible to participants.

(3) A reference and problem-solving guide developed by the manufacturer shall be given to the program participant at the time of the installation. This guide shall include information on the correct operation of the BAllD, a twenty-four (24) hour customer service phone number, service procedures, emergency procedures, and how the BAllD detects non-compliance.

(4) Adequate security measures shall be taken to ensure that unauthorized personnel cannot gain access to materials such as tamper proof seals, installation instructions, and files of other BAIID program participants.

(5) The service center is required to inspect all vehicles prior to installation and to determine whether the vehicle is in acceptable mechanical and electrical condition. For reasons of safety, a BAllD will not be installed unless the vehicle is capable of supporting such installation. The service center and the manufacturer shall maintain a log of such inspections.

(6) The service center shall follow all written instructions from the manufacturer for the BAllD installation and removal. Installations shall be executed according to accepted trade standards and the manufacturer's instructions.

(7) Tamper proof seals should be on every connection and must be proprietary to the manufacturer. A visual inspection should be done during each service visit to affirm that the seals are intact.

(8) Removal of the BAIID shall be carried out so that the ignition may be operated in the same manner as before installation of the BAIID. All severed wires will be permanently soldered and insulated with heat-shrink wrap or its equivalent. Reasonable wear and tear is expected.
