In the case of an owner who is authorized under N.J.A.C. 39:8-69 to self-inspect his or her vehicles, the owner shall perform this inspection no later than one year after installation of the retrofit device and provide the certification required on the compliance form.

(c) The person performing the inspection shall verify:

1. The presence of the required retrofit device;

2. That the label identification number on the form matches the number on the device in the vehicle; and

3. That the vehicle identification number on the vehicle is the same as is entered on the form.

(d) The person performing the inspection shall certify on the compliance form, in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:27-1.39, whether the retrofit requirement has or has not been met, based on verification of (c)1 through 3 above.

(f) Each regulated vehicle must be inspected one time, in accordance with this section, to confirm installation of the required best available retrofit technology. If the inspector is unable to confirm that the required best available retrofit technology has been installed, the owner of the regulated vehicle shall ensure the installation of the required best available retrofit technology no later than the installation deadline established for the owner of the regulated vehicle in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:27-32.18(a) and shall have compliance verified in accordance with this section within 30 days after installation.
