1、Designation: E2063 05 (Reapproved 2011)Standard Practice forCalibration and Functionality Checks Used in ForensicPsychophysiological Detection of Deception (Polygraph)Examinations1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2063; the number immediately following the designation indicates th
2、e year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice provides guidelines for calibration
3、andinstrumentation (both analog and computerized systems) ac-tively used in the psychophysiological detection of deception(verification of truth). As a minimum, such instrumentationshall simultaneously record an individuals respiratory, exoso-matic electrodermal, and cardiovascular activity.1.2 Anal
4、og polygraphs shall be calibrated by the psycho-physiological detection of deception (PDD) examiner, manu-facturer, or factory-authorized individual.1.3 Computerized instrumentation shall be calibrated by themanufacturer or factory-authorized individual.1.4 The PDD examiner or factory-authorized ind
5、ividualshall perform functionality checks to ensure instrumentation isoperating properly.1.5 This practice does not prohibit additional componentswhich may be offered as supplemental measurements ofphysiological change. Additional recording components (suchas movement sensors) may be used in additio

9、libration andFunctionality Checks of Polygraph Instrumentation5.1 A recorded chart shall be created demonstrating correctfunctioning of the instrument. This chart will be maintained fora minimum period of one year.5.1.1 This chart shall contain the following information, asapplicable: name of person
10、 performing calibration or function-ality check, time and date, location, manufacturer, model, andinstrument identification.5.1.2 All notations, settings, and adjustments shall beclearly and permanently noted on the chart (either marked byhand or, in the case of computerized instrumentation, electro
11、ni-cally recorded).5.1.3 All calibration and functionality checks shall be con-ducted in accordance with the manufacturers specifications.6. Calibration Check (Analog Instruments)6.1 Calibration checks shall be conducted in accordancewith the manufacturers specifications, but not less than onceper m
