Introduction
The purpose of alcohol interlocks is to enhance traffic safety by preventing persons with alcohol
concentrations exceeding a set limit value from driving a motor vehicle. EN 50436 series specifies test
methods and essential performance requirements for alcohol interlocks and gives guidance for authorities,
decision makers, purchasers and users.
There are several ways in which alcohol interlocks can be used:
— installed in a vehicle as a general preventive measure for the promotion of traffic safety, on a voluntary
basis or required legally in certain vehicles (e.g. vehicles for children transport); or
— in vehicles as ordered by a court or an administrative authority as part of a drink-driving offender
programme; or
— for persons subject to a medical or rehabilitation programme.
Alcohol interlocks are often intended for aftermarket installation. For this purpose, they are connected to the
electric and control circuits of the vehicle.
This installation of an alcohol interlock should not interfere with the proper performance of the vehicle, should
not impair the safety and security of the vehicle and should be as simply as possible. Additionally, the
installation costs should be low in relation to the total cost of the alcohol interlock.
Therefore, it is desirable to have a standardized installation document to provide technical information to the
installer of an alcohol interlock into a certain vehicle model, while the responsibility for the safe installation
will remain on the alcohol interlock installer.
