NYTEST OFF LINE LIMITS
NYVIP
MESSAGE No. 22 (2008)
01/15/2008
TO:
All NYMA INSPECTION STATIONS
FROM:
NYS DEPT. OF MOTOR VEHICLES
SUBJECT:
NYTEST OFF LINE LIMITS
Effective
immediately the number of NYTEST OFF - LINE INSPECTIONS that
are permitted will be reduced from the current maximum limit
of TWENTY FIVE (25) to TEN (10). If the NYTEST
inspection information is not transmitted to DMV after ten off –
line inspections, NYTEST inspections will be stopped until the data
is transmitted to DMV. This may also result in a stop of NYVIP
inspections until the NYTEST information is transmitted. However,
the off-line limit for NYVIP inspections will not change.
DMV
is making this change because motorists are being inconvenienced when
inspection stations do not transmit the inspection information to DMV
promptly. Motorists attempting to renew their vehicle
registration must have a valid emission inspection on their DMV
record or the registration renewal is denied. When a station does
not transmit the data to DMV, motorists are not permitted to renew.
NYTEST
equipment will normally transmit inspection information to DMV when
the inspection is completed on-line. The only time inspections should
be done off - line is when there is a communications or equipment
problem that must be looked into immediately and corrected. If the
NYTEST equipment and communications are working properly, inspections
will not be affected.
Stations
are still responsible for ensuring that the NYTEST equipment is
operating and calibrated properly. Failure to maintain a fully
operational NYTEST system will result in DMV action against the
inspection station.
If
you have any questions you may contact Clean Air at 518-473-0597, or
if you have questions about equipment maintenance contractors you may

These are messages sent by NYS DMV to the
inspection stations via the emissions analyzer units. They frequently contain important
information, usage tips, or announcements of system changes.
