#### 13M Procedures to be followed
(1) A breath test for section 40M or 40N of the Act must be conducted using an approved breath analysis instrument.

(3) However, neither a request for a blood test to be conducted nor the conduct of a blood test absolves the AFP employee or special member from the obligation to undergo a breath test.
(4) If the AFP employee or special member asks that a blood test be conducted, the authorised person conducting the breath test must take all reasonable steps to contact a person authorised to conduct a blood test.
(5) A certificate that makes statements about a matter specified in subregulation (6) and that is expressed to be given for this regulation must be signed by the authorised person who conducted the test.
(6) The following matters are specified:
(a) the type and serial number of the approved breath analysis instrument used to conduct the breath test;
(b) the sample number of the test;
