Devices for the automatic measurement of breath alcohol content (breathalyser).

Draft proposal of the rules on the metrological and technical requirements referring to evidential breath analysers

The draft proposal of the rules on the metrological and technical requirements referring to evidential breath analysers lays down metrological and technical requirements that are to be met by devices for the automatic measurement of breath alcohol content.

The provisions of the rules will apply to:

1. stationary breathalysers intended for use in a permanent indoor location with stable environmental conditions

2. portable, self-powered breathalysers intended for use in indoor or outdoor spaces

3. mobile breathalysers intended for use for mobile purposes, charged by car battery.

Breathalysers are to meet all metrological and safety principles so that the user may be certain of measurement results and are to be manufactured in a way that supports measurement technology and measurement results standards.
