(b) Prescribe the form and content of records respecting the calibration of devices, which must be kept by the manufacturer of the device or its agent, and other records respecting the installation, removal, inspection, maintenance and operation of the devices which it finds should be kept by the manufacturer or its agent.

If a model of a device has been certified by the Committee to be accurate and reliable pursuant to subsection 1, it is presumed that, as designed and manufactured, each device of that model is accurate and reliable to test a person’s breath to determine the concentration of alcohol in the person’s breath and, if the results of the test indicate that the person has a concentration of alcohol of 0.02 or more in his or her breath, will prevent the motor vehicle in which it is installed from starting.
