N.M. Admin. Code § 20.11.100.27 - RECERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTIFIED AIR CARE INSPECTORS
A. The program
manager will reissue certification to any air care inspector
who demonstrates updated competency as evidenced under the then-current
requirements administered by the program . Re-certification shall be required
upon expiration of a current annual certificate or sooner if either of the
following situations exist.
(1) If the program
manager determines a need to update the general qualifications of air
care inspectors prior to the annual re-certification period, holders
of the certificates may be required to re-qualify.
(2) As a result of auditing or investigating
consumer complaints, a certified inspector may be required to re-certify if the
program manager determines that competency or other problems must be corrected
in order to protect the public.
B. Certified air care inspectors shall
re-certify during the month the current certification is scheduled to
expire.
C. Each air
care inspector is responsible for applying for recertification in a
timely manner. The date of certification expiration is provided on the
inspector certification certificate, which shall be displayed in the
air care station, and the gas analyzer provides notice of
certification expiration starting at least 30 days prior to the certificate
expiration date. VPMD will not give special consideration regarding the time
and availability of a recertification class to an air care
inspector whose certification has lapsed unless good cause exists, as
determined by the program manager .
D. VPMD will review the VID records of each
air care inspector at the time of the recertification request
to determine if there is a pattern of violations or fraud during inspections
performed during the previous three years.
E. If a former air care inspector requests
recertification, but has allowed a lapse in recertification that is greater
that 90 days in length, the program manager may require the former inspector to
take the week-long certification training class rather than the recertification
training class.
