Section 326IAC13-1.1-8. Testing procedures and standards

   (a) Each motor vehicle shall be presented for testing and inspection at a facility with its certificate of registration or proof of ownership that identifies the motor vehicle by the following:

(1) Make.

(2) Model year.

(3) Vehicle identification number.

(4) License number.

  (b) The contractor shall only test vehicles if all of the following conditions are met:

(1) The exhaust system is intact and without leaks.

(2) The vehicle is in safe condition for testing.

(3) For an I/M 93 test only, the motorist and any passengers have exited from the vehicle.

  (c) All tests shall be performed by a certified inspector.

  (d) Test procedures for I/M emission testing shall comply with "IM240 & Evap Technical Guidance", EPA420-R-00-007, April 2000*.

  (e) Emission standards shall comply with "IM240 & Evap Technical Guidance", EPA420-R-00-007, April 2000*.

  (f) Vehicles shall be retested after repair for any portion of the inspection that was failed. To the extent that repairs to correct a previous failure could lead to failure of another portion of the test, that portion shall also be retested. Evaporative system repairs shall trigger an exhaust emission retest. Exhaust emission retests shall not be conducted unless the owner or operator of the vehicle demonstrates that the vehicle has had appropriate repairs for the reason of failure. In the case of tampering failures, the owner or operator must demonstrate that the tampered condition or equipment has been repaired or replaced before a retest is performed.

  (g) If the U.S. EPA has granted a waiver in accordance with Section 182(f) of the Clean Air Act* for any county or counties subject to this rule, the department may determine that during the period when the NO_x waiver is in effect, failure of the NO_x portion of the I/M test is not grounds for denial of a certificate of compliance for vehicles within that county or counties. Upon making such a determination, the department shall notify the contractor in writing indicating the effective dates of the determination.
