What must operators do to ensure conformity with ethical standards?

To ensure conformity with ethical standards, operators must maintain impartiality and adhere to standard operating procedures. This commitment to impartiality is crucial because it ensures that all test results are reliable and not influenced by bias or external factors. By following established standard operating procedures, operators can ensure consistency and integrity in their testing processes. This approach builds public trust in the testing results and reinforces the credibility of the operator and the testing system as a whole.

Customization of testing procedures could lead to inconsistencies and subjective interpretations that undermine the reliability of the results, while relying on personal judgment can introduce bias and compromise the objectivity required in such assessments. Additionally, reducing the number of tests administered does not inherently contribute to ethical standards; in fact, it could lead to insufficient data or a lack of thoroughness in evaluating impairment. Thus, the emphasis on impartiality and standardized procedures ensures that operators conduct their duties ethically and responsibly.
