NOTE:
Breath Test instrument records that are available on this web site
extend back approximately three years. Some of the records found
(i.e., case files) may extend back even further. Older records not
found on this site must be obtained from the local responsible Technician. This Web site does not contain copies of permit cards for individual operators. They must be obtained from the individual law enforcement agency with which the operator is employed. |
NOTICES November 17, 2009 - Breath Alcohol Calibration accreditation – on November 16, 2009 the WSP Toxicology Laboratory Division became accredited by ASCLD/LAB-International under the ISO/IEC 17025:2005 general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. This accreditation applies to the activities involved with the calibration of breath alcohol measuring instruments and the preparation of calibration reference materials (i.e. simulator solutions). Copies of the Certificate of Accreditation and Scope of Accreditation will be placed on WebDMS upon receipt. September 1, 2009 - The WSP policies and procedures covering the certification of simulator solutions and the subsequent calibration of the evidentiary breath test instruments have been updated. The updated manuals supersede previous policies and protocols for these activities and can be found in the BTP Public Records Index on this site, under the link “Breath Calibration Manuals”. June 19, 2008 - “Exhibit 2: Thermometers approved to measure the temperature of simulator solutions” has been updated and can be found in the BTP Public Records Index on this site June 19, 2008 - On March 14th, Dr. Fiona J. Couper became the new Washington State Toxicologist for the Washington State Patrol. Dr. Couper’s curriculum vitae can be found in the BTP Public Records Index on this site February 12, 2008 - The Washington State Toxicologist has published the CR-103 (Permanent Rulemaking Order) for the Washington State Administrative Code Sections regarding preliminary breath testing. Details are available at: http://breathtest.wsp.wa.gov/WAC 448-15.pdf and http://breathtest.wsp.wa.gov/WSR 08-05-029.pdf November 20, 2007 - The Washington State Toxicologist has published proposed changes to the Washington State Administrative Code Sections regarding preliminary breath testing. September 28, 2007 - The Washington State Toxicology Laboratory recently changed its procedures for preparing, testing and checking simulator solution batches, and has begun reviewing the data for solutions recently prepared. The complete analytical data, the certification data sheet, and affidavits of the analysts, for all solutions reviewed so far, and any corrections made, are posted here August 9, 2007 - The Washington State Patrol Toxicology Laboratory has contacted county prosecutors about an error recently discovered in the calculation of external standard simulator solution reference values. This has resulted in an overestimate by 0.001 to 0.002g/210L in some tests conducted on a breath test instrument in Spokane County (140030), between February 2, 2006, and January 4, 2007. Details are available at: http://breathtest.wsp.wa.gov/Simulator solution calculation issue.pdf July 26, 2007 - The Washington State Patrol Toxicology Laboratory prepares and tests simulator solutions used in the DataMaster breath testing instruments. Each batch of solution is prepared by a single analyst. Each batch of solution is then examined and tested by multiple analysts and each analyst signs a certificate for use in lieu of live testimony pursuant to CrRLJ 6.13(c)(1). All certificates signed by Ann Marie Gordon have been removed from this Web Based Discovery Materials Site (WebDMS) as of July 21, 2007, because Ms. Gordon did not personally examine and test the solutions. This applies only to Ms. Gordon’s certificates. All other certificates remain on the website. The test results themselves have not changed.
July 5, 2007 - The State Toxicologist is reinitiating
the process of amending the Washington Administrative Code
Section WAC Chapter 448-15 concerning approval of portable
breath test (PBT) devices. Please
