§ 46-313. The Superintendent may establish a procedure for the
approval of equipment required to be so approved. Such procedure shall
include the submission of a sample of the device for test and record pur-
poses, submission of evidence that the device complies with this title and
with recognized testing standards which the Superintendent is hereby
authorized to adopt, and payment of the fee hereinafter provided. The
Superintendent may waive the submission of a sample of the device when
the request for approval is accompanied by an American Association of
Motor Vehicle Administrators Examination Certificate showing compliance
with specifications of the Society of Automotive Engineers and the Na-
tional Commercial Standards when such specifications are in reasonable
conformity with regulations adopted by the Superintendent. The Super-
intendent shall then within a reasonable time either disapprove the device
or issue a certificate of approval therefor.
