(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 7:27-1.39, whether the retrofit requirement has or has not been met, based on verification of (c)1 through 3 above.

(e) If the owner of the regulated vehicle is a licensed diesel emissions inspection center or is otherwise authorized to self-inspect his or her vehicles, the owner may perform the inspection and provide the certification required pursuant to (d) 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.
