What is a BAT Certificate?
A Breath Alcohol Technician (BAT) certificate is issued by your instructor and attests that you fully understand the Department of Transportations' (DOT) rules and regulations detailed in their published document 49CFR Part 40 as well as instrument operation. This certificate is instrument specific and must be renewed every 5 years with the completion of a refresher course.
What is a Lifeloc Operator and Calibration Technician Certificate?
Providing your Instructor submitted the appropriate materials, Lifeloc issues a certification attesting that you are proficient and certified to inspect, maintain, and perform calibrations on Lifeloc equipment. This certificate is important as the DOT requires that, as a user of the EBT, you must follow the manufacturer's QAP (Quality Assurance Plan) and Lifeloc's QAP states that calibration must be performed by a qualified operator. Both the BAT certificate that your instructor has issued and a certificate for the specific EBT you trained on are needed to ensure compliance with the provisions of 49 CFR Part 40.
