§ 105.13. Operation of maintenance and calibration stations.

(a)  Maintenance and calibration. Maintenance and calibration of electronic devices shall be provided, as necessary, upon notice by the State Police.
(b)  Hours. Stations for the maintenance and calibration of electronic devices shall be operated during a regular work week Monday through Friday during the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

   (1)  An electrical engineer.
   (2)  An associate engineer, or technician who possesses a valid FCC Radio Telephone or Radio Telegraph License—General, First or Second Class.
(d)  Presumption of accuracy. Either the electrical engineer, associate engineer or technician shall be present at the time that the test is conducted. The certification that the electronic speed-timing device has been tested and found to be accurate shall create a presumption that the requirements of this subsection have been fulfilled. Adjustments and repairs shall be made in conformance with 47 CFR 90.433 (relating to operator requirements).
(e)  [Reserved].

Notes of Decisions

   Commonwealth’s reliance solely upon certificate of accuracy and calibration to prove that speed-timing device had been approved by Department was insufficient to establish element of speeding offense. Commonwealth v. Kittelberger, 616 A.2d 1 (Pa. Super. 1992).
