tion is oſten conducted in conjunction with BAT proficiency training. However, BATs are not automatically trained as Calibration Technicians. Separate qualification is re- quired. It is recommended that Calibration Technicians be available whenever testing is being performed in case a situation re- quiring calibration arises. Tis is why most BATs also become Calibration Technicians. Some organizations, such as hospitals,
may choose to qualify different person- nel as Breath Alcohol Technicians and Calibration Technicians. In these cases the Calibration Technician role may be filled by a lab technician who is very experienced with instrument calibration.
Verify that your Calibration Technician qualification instruction is provided by an authorized representative of the instrument’s manufacturer.
Calibration Technician training is
instrument specific. Training must not be performed on a different make and model than the one the Calibration Technician will be responsible for calibrating. If multiple makes and models of EBTs are used in an operation, there needs to be a Calibration Technician qualified on each type of device. When organizing Calibration Technician training, ensure that your instructor is officially authorized by the manufacturer
for the specific instrument with which you are working. Failure to do so can result in test results being disqualified. Te best way to be certain is to contact your instrument manufacturer before your training.
Confirm your Dry Gas Standard It is crucial to confirm that the Dry Gas
standard to which your instrument is set matches the standard listed on the Dry Gas cylinder being used and is adjusted appropriately for altitude. If set incorrectly, your calibration check and tests results will be inaccurate. Most devices will store a standard once it is set, but it is a best prac- tice to verify before every calibration and/ or calibration check.
