10 Procedures to be followed
(1) An alcohol breath test for section 16C or 16D of the Act must be conducted using an approved device for the test. (2) A Customs worker who is directed to undergo an alcohol breath test may ask the authorised person conducting the test to arrange for the Customs worker to also undergo an alcohol blood test. (3) However, neither a request for an alcohol blood test to be conducted nor the conduct of an alcohol blood test absolves the Customs worker from the obligation to undergo an alcohol breath test. (4) If the Customs worker asks that an alcohol blood test be conducted, the authorised person conducting the alcohol breath test must take all reasonable steps to contact a person authorised to conduct an alcohol blood test. (5) A certificate that makes statements about a matter specified in subsection (6), and that is expressed to be given for this section, 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 device used to conduct the alcohol breath test; (b) the sample number of the test; (c) the full name and date of birth of the Customs worker tested; (d) the full name of the authorised person who conducted the test; (e) whether the authorised person conducted a self‑test on the approved device before and after the analysis; (f) if the authorised person conducted a self‑test: (i) the time and result of the self‑test; and (ii) whether the self‑test was conducted on override mode; (g) the date on which, and the time at which, the alcohol breath test was conducted; (h) the result of the alcohol breath test as shown by the approved device.
