(2) A copy of the employer’s certification of testing room used by the licensee shall satisfy the requirement of this rule, provided however that the licensee does in fact use only the employer’s equipment.

(4) If the licensee does not intend to test, a statement to that effect shall satisfy the requirement of this rule, provided however that the licensee does not in fact test.
