How many hours per week must an inspection station be open at a minimum?

The minimum requirement for how many hours an inspection station must be open each week is set at 16 hours. This standard is established to ensure that the inspection services remain accessible to the public, allowing vehicle owners ample opportunity to have their vehicles inspected during convenient times. By mandating 16 hours, the regulation strikes a balance between the operational needs of the inspection stations and the availability of services for residents. This ensures that there are sufficient hours for inspections while also allowing operators to manage their resources effectively.
