11 Calibration testing of radar, and laser, speed analysers

(1)  A device specified in regulation 8(1) must not be used to detect a speeding offence unless –

(a) the radar speed analyser or laser speed analyser component of the device has been tested for accuracy within the 12 months immediately preceding the date of use; and

(b) if that component has been repaired, altered or adjusted since it was last used for that purpose, it has been retested; and

(c) it is sealed in such a manner as to prevent interference with its speed-computing circuitry without breaking the seal.

(2)  For the purposes of subregulation (1)(b) , a component of a device is not to be taken as having been repaired, altered or adjusted unless the repair, alteration or adjustment required the seal of the device to be broken.

(3)  A test, retest or sealing of a device under subregulation (1) is to be performed by an employee of –

(a) a school, or department, of electrical engineering, communications engineering or electronics engineering at a registered higher education provider within the meaning of the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011 of the Commonwealth; or

(b) an organisation accredited by the National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia, to conduct the calibration of speed measuring devices; or

(c) an organisation approved by the Commissioner of Police, or the Transport Commission, for the testing of speed measuring devices.
