An early recall would be for tampering, circumvention, or any time the device detects a malfunction. The lockout would occur at the conclusion of the 72 hour period once the device has entered into an early recall.

Compliance checks are electronic reports that do not require the customer to return to a service center. Compliance checks are to be sent at 30 and 60 days after the customers interlock requirement has begun. This is needed for deferment eligibility. Please refer to your Amended Guidelines for Ignition Interlock Manufacturers Electronic Reporting.

Civil Penalties are outlined in R17-5-616 and may be imposed for improper reporting that erroneously initiate corrective action against a person.

This should be reported no sooner than 30 days after their 90 day calibration appointment. At this point, the customer’s driver’s license would be suspended for non-compliance if they have not reinstalled with another provider.

Once the manufacturer or IISP recognizes that the device is not reporting, they should reach out to the customer to ensure the device is working properly. If needed, recall the customer if device is malfunctioning.

Each reported violation that is validated by the manufacturer results in a six month extension.  A.R.S. §28-1461.E. prescribes the department shall extend an ignition interlock restricted or limited driver license and the certified ignition interlock device period for six months if the department has reasonable grounds to believe that any of the following applies:

The applicants are not limited to the owners of the ignition interlock service provider; all applicants provided to the department are included.  There are several agencies that conduct background checks.  These agencies may be found by searching the internet for businesses and locations of your choice.

Extensions A.R.S. §28-1461 (E).  The department shall extend an ignition interlock restricted or limited driver license and the certified ignition interlock device period for six months if the department has reasonable grounds to believe that any of the following applies:

All applicants participating in any ignition interlock activities must be certified.  If the owner of the location is not participating in any ignition interlock activities, they don’t need to be a certified technician but still need to sign the service center application to verify the interlock services at that center.

According to A.A.C. R17-5-618 (D) An IISP shall facilitate the immediate replacement of the IISP’s service center if the service center goes out of business or the service center is closed, and the IISP does not have a service center in the county.
