"speed measuring device" means a device for measuring the speed of vehicles that is:
(a) a laser-based device; or
(b) a radar device.
[5] After subregulation 25A (5)
insert
(5A) The requirements for testing a laser-based device are:
(a) that the test is such as will ensure that the device (if it passes the test) meets the following criteria:
(i) the optical output power of the device is within the specification provided by the manufacturer of the device, or any modification to that design approved by the manufacturer;
(ii) the device is properly calibrated in accordance with the manufacturers instructions, and the frequencies at which the calibration is effected produce the following readings determinable from those frequencies:
(A) for speed within a limit of error plus or minus 2 kilometres per hour of true speeds;
(B) for range within a limit of accuracy of error plus 0.3 metres, or minus 0.4 metres (or plus 1 foot, or minus 2 feet), for both the short range and long range tests, and using either the simulator or physical method mentioned in AS 4691.1 ‑ 2003; and
Note Appendix A of AS 4691.1 ‑ 2003 sets out the
simulator method of testing laser-based speed detection devices, and Appendix
C sets out the physical method.
(b) that the person who conducts the test makes, titles and dates a report containing the following information:
(i) a unique reference number identifying the report;
(ii) the date of the test;
(iii) the name and address of the laboratory that performed the test;
(iv) the identification number or symbols of the device that was tested;
(v) any other results of the test and any comments of that person on the test or its results; and
(c) that the person who conducts the test is an authorised tester.
[6] After subregulation 25A (7)
insert
(7A) The requirements for operating a laser-based device are:
(a) the operator of the device must be a police member; and
(b) at the start and the end of each shift in which the device is used, the operator must test the device by performing the following checks in accordance with the manufacturers instructions:
(i) an instrument confidence check;
(ii) a calibration verification check;
(iii) a scope alignment check.
