            a.    General:   The instrument manufacturer and/or his designated marketing vendors shall, on request, supply at a reasonable cost, span gases approved by the Division to any ultimate purchaser of his unit. Each new or used instrument sold by the instrument manufacturer or marketing vendor shall have approved full span gas containers installed and operational at the time of delivery. The Division shall establish necessary procedures for approving span/calibration gases.
            b.    Span gas blends:   The span gases supplied to any Certified Emission Repair Facility and/or Enhanced Basic Test Station shall BAR97 specifications. All span/calibration gases shall meet all Federal requirements for the emissions warranty coverage.
        5.     Documentation, logistics, and warranty requirements:
            a.    An instruction manual shall accompany each exhaust gas analyzer and shall contain at least the following information for the analyzer:
            i.    A complete technical description;    
            ii.    The accessories and options that are included and/or available;
            iii.    The model number, identification marking and location;
            iv.    Operating maintenance including daily, weekly, and monthly, accommodations and procedures for maintaining sample system integrity including, but not limited to, leaks, hang-up, calibration and filters. The services to be performed only by the manufacturer shall be clearly identified;    
            v.    Information concerning the nearest service facility where equipment can be serviced; and
            vi.    The warranty provisions for the analyzer, including a list of warranty repair facilities by name, address and telephone number.
            vii.    The analyzer shall be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule.    
    B.    Gas Span and Leak Check.
        1.    A Certified Emissions Repair Technician and/or certified emissions tester shall perform a gas calibration of the exhaust gas analyzer, with an approved calibration/span gas, within three (3) days prior to performing any emissions test, and a leak check within twenty-four (24) hours prior to performing any emissions test. The gas calibration and leak check must be performed as prompted by the UTAH2000 analyzer.    
        2.     The analyzer instruction manual and other Division approved information shall be reviewed by the Certified Emissions Repair Technician or Certified Emissions Repair Technician and/or Tester to ensure that proper procedures are being used for performing the gas calibration check.
