OAR 257-100-0050
Performance Standards for Ignition Interlock Devices


(1) Every device currently installed in a vehicle must be equipped with a camera. The camera must not be located inside the handset and must be mounted to the vehicle in such a way to capture a photo in each of the following circumstances: when the device is installed and the driver is sitting in the driver’s compartment; when a breath sample is requested; when a breath sample is submitted; when a breath sample is refused; when the device is circumvented; or when the device is disconnected. The device must be capable of storing all required data, including: the image; the time; the date, and BrAC of the accepted breath sample each time the individual attempts to use the device.
(2) The device camera must function in all lighting conditions.
(3) All images and data collected between calibration periods must be stored in the device’s data storage system and be downloadable at the time of calibration by the device manufacturer’s representative in order to ensure proper record maintenance.
(4) Every device currently installed in a vehicle must be equipped with the ability to record a test violation or circumvention as described in ORS 813.599 (Definitions). Every device currently installed must also have the ability to determine and record locational coordinate information of the vehicle, including latitude and longitude, as established by a global positioning system; and
(a) After a successful initial test or second initial test, or random retest, the device must allow for a restart within two minutes without requiring an additional test; and
(b) The device must perform a purge automatically before allowing any subsequent test.
(5) The device must not accept a breath test if the device is in lockout.
(6) A device must require 1200 milliliters (mL) or 1.2 liters (L) of breath for an acceptable breath sample. For individuals who are unable to provide the minimum breath sample, the individual may apply for the IID medical exemption with the court or DMV in accordance with OAR 735-070-0082 (Medical Exemption from IID Requirement).
(7) After a successful initial or second initial test, the device must require a random retest of the individual while a vehicle’s engine is in operation as follows:
(a) A retest is required at random intervals ranging from five to ten minutes after starting the vehicle. Subsequent retests are required at random intervals ranging from 15 to 45 minutes from the previously required retest for the duration of travel; and
(b) The device retest must allow multiple test attempts for up to 10 minutes for the retest to be completed. Multiple attempts must allow enough time for the device fuel cell to recover based on the manufacturer’s requirements; and
(c) A device must provide distinct audible and visual indicators to alert the driver that a retest is in progress. Upon a device registering a violation, the device must:
(A) Activate unique audible and visual indicators inside the compartment of the vehicle and on the display of the handset, until the engine is shut down or a successful test is submitted; and
(B) Record the retest violation in the data storage system and disable the ability of the restart as defined in OAR 257-100-0005 (Definitions); and
(8) The device must be programed to enter the early recall setting when the device records a test violation as defined in ORS 813.599 (Definitions). Service of the device must be performed within 7 days of the violation. The device may enter a lockout if the device has not been serviced within the 7 days following a violation as defined in ORS 813.599 (Definitions).
