Or. Admin. R. 340-256-0358 - Emission Control System Inspection: Emissions Control Test Method for Self-Service Testing Program
This rule documents the Self-Service test method.
(1) DEQ may provide a testing method whereby
the vehicle owner or their representative will perform the emissions test. The
test performed will be either a remote sensing optical quantification of the
tailpipe pollutants, a remote or computer connected OBD test, or other means
approved under section (4) of this rule.
(2) Before implementing Self-Service Testing
under this rule, DEQ must establish specific Self-Service Testing processes in
DEQ's policies and procedures documents, including:
(a) The test techniques to be used for
Self-Service Testing;
(b)
Procedures for identifying the vehicle that will be subjected to Self-Service
testing;
(c) Procedures for
protecting the Self-Service test process from vandalism and cheating;
and
(d) Testing standards for the
Self-Service technique that will be used.
(3) If DEQ uses the optical attenuation
method for Self-Service Testing, 1975 and newer model year vehicles are
eligible for Self-Service Testing. If DEQ uses broadcast data or hardwire cable
connection from vehicles' OBD systems for Self-Service Testing, 1996 and newer
model year vehicles are eligible for Self-Service Testing.
(4) If DEQ develops and implements additional
test methods for use in the Self-Service Testing program, DEQ must develop
documentation that such method will provide equal or greater accuracy in
identifying vehicles that would pass or fail the otherwise required emission
test.
