sec.210F Calibration testing of particular photographic detection devices
This section prescribes, for section 120 (2A) (a) (ii) of the Act , requirements about calibration testing for the following photographic detection devices (each a relevant device )— an analogue speed camera system; a digital speed camera system; a digital combined redlight and speed camera system, to the extent it is used to provide evidence of a speeding offence; a digital point-to-point camera system, to the extent it is used to provide evidence of a speeding offence based on an image or images captured by one of the system’s cameras of a vehicle at a particular location and time. The chief executive or commissioner may, if satisfied that an entity is competent to conduct calibration testing of a relevant device, approve the entity to conduct calibration testing for this section. An entity approved under subsection (2) (an approved testing entity ) must conduct calibration testing of a relevant device. On finding that a relevant device is producing accurate results, an approved testing entity must— ensure the device’s speed computing unit is sealed in a way that prevents physical interference with any component contained within the unit without breaking the seal; and prepare and sign a report stating— the serial number for the device tested; and the date and time when testing was conducted; and the results of the testing. In this section— speed computing unit , of a relevant device, means a part of the device used to compute the speed of a vehicle for the purpose of providing evidence of a speeding offence. s 210F ins 2011 SL No. 212 s 5 amd 2021 SL No. 102 s 26 sch 1 ; 2024 SL No. 145 s 5 (sec.210F-ssec.1) This section prescribes, for section 120 (2A) (a) (ii) of the Act , requirements about calibration testing for the following photographic detection devices (each a relevant device )— an analogue speed camera system; a digital speed camera system; a digital combined redlight and speed camera system, to the extent it is used to provide evidence of a speeding offence; a digital point-to-point camera system, to the extent it is used to provide evidence of a speeding offence based on an image or images captured by one of the system’s cameras of a vehicle at a particular location and time. (sec.210F-ssec.2) The chief executive or commissioner may, if satisfied that an entity is competent to conduct calibration testing of a relevant device, approve the entity to conduct calibration testing for this section. (sec.210F-ssec.3) An entity approved under subsection (2) (an approved testing entity ) must conduct calibration testing of a relevant device. (sec.210F-ssec.4) On finding that a relevant device is producing accurate results, an approved testing entity must— ensure the device’s speed computing unit is sealed in a way that prevents physical interference with any component contained within the unit without breaking the seal; and prepare and sign a report stating— the serial number for the device tested; and the date and time when testing was conducted; and the results of the testing. (sec.210F-ssec.5) In this section— speed computing unit , of a relevant device, means a part of the device used to compute the speed of a vehicle for the purpose of providing evidence of a speeding offence.
