Which of the following would NOT cause suspension or revocation of an Inspector's license?

• A. Falsifying inspection reports
• B. Repeated calibration failures
• C. Clean piping
• D. Misreporting vehicle data

Answer: (C)

Maintaining honesty and accuracy in testing is what keeps an Inspector’s license secure. Actions that compromise the integrity of the inspection process—such as falsifying reports or misreporting vehicle data—undermine air quality protections and the trust in the program, so they are grounds for suspension or revocation. Repeated calibration failures show the testing equipment isn’t measuring correctly, which means the results can’t be trusted and that also risks disciplinary action. Clean piping, on the other hand, is simply a normal maintenance condition that does not indicate wrongdoing or noncompliance; it reflects proper upkeep rather than a violation. So it would not lead to suspension or revocation.
