Section 13 AAC 63.100 - Breath test instrument calibration and certification

(a) Before an individual breath test instrument is certified for use in the state, the correct calibration of the instrument must be verified. The verification shall be performed by the scientific director or by a qualified person designated by the scientific director. The scientific director shall maintain a record of each verification of calibration of each instrument certified for use in the state.

(b) The calibration of a breath test instrument must be performed by the scientific director or by a qualified person designated by the scientific director.

(c) At intervals not to exceed 60 days, the accuracy of the calibration of a breath test instrument must be verified. The verification of calibration must be performed by the scientific director or by a qualified person designated by the scientific director. A written report of the verification of calibration shall be made by the person who performed that verification. That report shall be submitted to the scientific director, if the scientific director did not prepare it. Upon receipt of the written report or after preparing the written report, and if the report verifies that the calibration of the breath test instrument is accurate, the scientific director shall issue a certification for the breath test instrument. The certification is valid for 60 days after the day the verification of calibration was performed. The scientific director may require verification of calibration of a breath test instrument at more frequent intervals.

(d) The scientific director or a qualified person designated by the scientific director may inspect a breath test at any time.

(e) The scientific director may deny or withdraw a breath test instrument certification if the scientific director finds that

(1) an operator of that breath test instrument has not met the requirements of this chapter for certification or recertification as a breath test operator or supervisor; or

(2) the requirements of this chapter for the operation and maintenance of that breath test instrument have not been followed.
