Section Saf-C 6802.03 - Laboratory Evaluation

(a) The laboratory shall evaluate each manufacturer make and model of preliminary breath test device submitted in accordance with Saf-C 6802.02.

(b) The evaluation shall include the following categories:

(1) Analysis of a series of alcohol samples at known concentrations, to verify the accuracy and precision of the approved instrument as meeting the following criteria:

a. For known alcohol concentrations greater than 0.000 g/210L but less than or equal to 0.050 g/210L:

1. The accuracy of the readings shall deviate no more than +/- 0.003 g/210L from known alcohol concentrations; and

2. The total precision range of the readings shall not exceed 0.005 g/210L;

b. For known alcohol concentrations greater than 0.050 g/210L but less than or equal to 0.100 g/210L:

1. The accuracy of the readings shall deviate no more than +/- 0.005 g/210L from known concentrations; and

2. The total precision range of the readings shall not exceed 0.005 g/210L; and

c. For known alcohol concentrations greater than 0.100 g/210L:

1. The accuracy of the readings shall deviate no more than +/- 5% from known alcohol concentrations; and

2. The total precision range of the readings shall not exceed 5% of the target value;

(2) Ease of use in handling the device while performing a test;

(3) Performance under normal and adverse ambient conditions; and

(4) Effects of other substances or sources of energy that might interfere with the proper functioning of the device.

(c) Each device evaluated in accordance with Saf-C 6802.03 shall meet or exceed the performance statements provided by the manufacturer.
