§40.213 01/02
QUESTION:
Is error correction training required if an alcohol test is cancelled due to equipment failure?
ANSWER:
Normally, equipment failure will not require the BAT to have error correction training.
However, if it is determined that the equipment failure was related to the BAT’s failure to properly maintain equipment (e.g., the EBT), error correction training would be in order.
In addition, error correction would be required if the BAT does not attempt to accomplish the test following equipment failure using another device – provided that another device was reasonably available.
