Which statement does not apply to a licensed Smog Check station?

• A. The BAR 90/97 can be moved outside only when testing a heavy-duty vehicle or motor home.
• B. The BAR 90/97 is used only during certain tests.
• C. The station must display the BAR certification.
• D. The station must adhere to testing standards.

Answer: (A)

A licensed Smog Check station must operate with BAR-certified testing equipment and follow the official testing standards. The BAR-90/97 is part of the emission testing setup and is used for measurements only on tests that require its readings, not for every procedure. Stations are also required to display their BAR certification, showing they are authorized to perform tests, and they must adhere to the prescribed testing standards to ensure accuracy and consistency across inspections. The idea that the BAR-90/97 can be moved outside only when testing a heavy-duty vehicle or motor home does not apply, because in standard practice this equipment is used as part of the required testing setup and is not regularly moved outside based on vehicle type.
