        (a)     a radar speed measuring device that is not a component of a fixed camera detection device or a digital camera detection device;

        (b)     a radar speed measuring device component of a fixed camera detection device or a digital camera detection device;

        (c)     an approved police speedometer;

        (d)     the loop detector speed measuring device component of a fixed camera detection device;

        (e)     the piezo strip speed measuring device component of a fixed camera detection device.

    (2)     The devices mentioned in subsection (1) must be tested at least once every 12 months.    

    (3)     The test must be carried out by a person approved under section 106 (Approved people—testing and sealing).

    (4)     The test of a radar speed measuring device that is not a component of a fixed camera detection device, or a digital camera detection device, must show whether the device is operating in accordance with Australian Standard AS 2898.1-2, as in force on the commencement of this subsection.

Note 1     The text of an applied, adopted or incorporated law or instrument, whether applied as in force from time to time or at a particular time, is taken to be a notifiable instrument if the operation of the Legislation Act, s 47 (5) or (6) is not disapplied (see s 47 (7)).

(a)     is operating in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications; and

        (b)     for speeds of 100km/h and under—is accurate within a tolerance of 2km/h; and

        (c)     for speeds over 100km/h—is accurate within a tolerance of 2%.

    (7)     The test of an approved police speedometer must show whether the device is accurate within a tolerance of 2%.

    (8)     The test of the loop detector speed measuring device component of a fixed camera detection device must show whether the speed measuring device—

        (a)     for speeds of 100km/h and under—is accurate within a tolerance of 2km/h; and

        (b)     for speeds over 100km/h—is accurate within a tolerance of 2%.

    (9)     The test of the piezo strip speed measuring device component of a fixed camera detection device must show whether the speed measuring device—

        (a)     is operating in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications; and

        (b)     is accurate within a tolerance of 2km/h.
