(ii) Determine that the engine is at operating temperature as specified in SAE J1667.

(iii) Examine the vehicle exhaust system for integrity. If a detectable leak exists determine that the HDDV is in violation of section 217-5.4(a)(3) of this Subpart.

(iv) Perform the smoke testing on at least one exhaust tailpipe in accordance with SAE J1667.

(v) Ensure that the ambient temperature at the test location is within the conditions range specified in SAE J1667.

(vii) Determine that the engine speed governor is in proper operating condition by:

(viii) If inspecting a vehicle which was either equipped by the manufacturer or was retrofitted in accordance with State or Federal law or regulation with a catalytic converter, particulate trap or trap oxidizer, or any other exhaust after-treatment device, inspect the exhaust system for the presence of the device and for its physical integrity. Discontinue testing of any motor vehicle which exhibits any missing exhaust after-treatment device or perforating rust, crack, hole, tear, or other such physical defect in the device. Do not resume testing unless and until the defect(s) are repaired. Determine that the HDDV is in violation of section 217-5.4 of this Subpart if corrective action to repair the HDDV is not taken.

(ix) If, at any time before or during the inspection of a HDDV, continuous blue smoke is observed in the exhaust emissions for more than three seconds, discontinue the testing and determine that the vehicle is in violation of section 217-5.4 of this Subpart.

(x) At the conclusion of the emissions inspection of a HDDV by a certified inspector, print a copy of the test report produced by the smokemeter certified in accordance with section 217-5.6(a) of this Subpart and provide the report to the vehicle owner or operator.

(i) only affix a valid emission certificate of inspection to a HDDV that has met the emission and inspection requirements set forth in this Subpart;

(ii) issue test result to the HDDV owner/operator for each test performed; and

(iii) only issue test result to the owner/operator for the specific vehicle that has been tested.

(i) be licensed/registered by the appropriate New York State agency to perform HDDV emissions testing and inspection;

(ii) conspicuously display licenses required under section 217-5.5(b)(2)(i) of this Subpart;

(iii) maintain test equipment in accordance with this section, manufacturer's specification, and SAE J1667;

(iv) maintain a current copy of SAE J1667 at facility;

(v) not pass any HDDV which does not meet the requirements set forth in section 217-5.4 of this Subpart;

(vi) not test or allow to test the exhaust emission on any HDDV which has been disqualified from testing for any reason until the reason for disqualification has been corrected;

(vii) issue test results to the HDDV owner/operator for each test performed;

(viii) not affix or allow anyone to affix a valid certificate of inspection to a HDDV unless it has met the emission and inspection requirements set forth in this section;

(ix) not issue or allow the issuance of test results to an owner/operator unless those results are measured from the vehicle tested; and

(x) maintain logs in accordance with a prescribed format.
