Dispositifs de contrôle à distance de l'alcoolémie - Méthodes d'essai et exigences de performance - Partie 1: Instruments pour les programmes d'évaluation
Le présent document spécifie les exigences de performance, ainsi que les méthodes d'essai relatives aux dispositifs de contrôle à distance de l'alcoolémie qui utilisent des technologies d'essai du taux d'alcoolémie. Il couvre les dispositifs de contrôle à distance de l'alcoolémie équipés d'un embout et destinés à être utilisés par les participants à des programmes de contrôle de la consommation d'alcool.
Le présent document s'adresse aux laboratoires d'essais et aux fabricants de dispositifs de contrôle à distance de l'alcoolémie. Il définit les exigences et les procédures d'essai relatives aux essais de type.
Plusieurs réglages de paramètres (tels que la concentration d'alcool, le volume d'air expiré et les unités de mesure) sont spécifiés dans le présent document pour les besoins des essais de type dans le cadre de la présente norme seulement. Toutefois, en raison de réglementations nationales ou selon les demandes des utilisateurs, il peut être nécessaire de définir les réglages de paramètres prescrits sur des valeurs différentes lorsque les dispositifs de contrôle à distance de l'alcoolémie sont utilisés.

Introduction
The purpose of remote alcohol monitoring devices is to monitor the compliance of persons subject to
mandatory or voluntary programmes focused on monitoring alcohol consumption.
The purpose of EN 50980-1 is to specify essential performance requirements and to provide the
respective test methods for available technologies. The technology of remote alcohol monitoring
devices continues to evolve, and further innovations can be expected. These could be considered in
new parts or revisions of this European Standard.

1 Scope
This document specifies performance requirements and test methods for remote alcohol monitoring
devices that use breath alcohol testing technology. It covers remote alcohol monitoring devices having
a mouthpiece and which are intended to be used by participants in programmes designed to monitor
alcohol consumption.
This document is directed at test laboratories and manufacturers of remote alcohol monitoring devices.
It defines requirements and test procedures for type testing.
Several parameter settings (such as alcohol concentration, breath volume or units of measurement)
are specified in this document for the purpose of type testing according to this standard only. However,
it may be necessary due to national regulations or depending on user requests to set the values of the
prescribed parameter settings differently when the remote alcohol monitoring devices are in use.

122 Introduction
123 The purpose of remote alcohol monitoring devices is to monitor the compliance of persons subject to
124 mandatory or voluntary programmes focused on monitoring alcohol consumption.
125 The purpose of prEN 50980-1 is to specify essential performance requirements and to provide the
126 respective test methods for available technologies. The technology of remote alcohol monitoring
127 devices continues to evolve, and further innovations can be expected. These could be considered in
128 new parts or revisions of this European Standard.

129 1 Scope
130 This document specifies performance requirements and test methods for remote alcohol monitoring
131 devices that use breath alcohol testing technology. It covers remote alcohol monitoring devices having
132 a mouthpiece and which are intended to be used by participants in programmes designed to monitor
133 alcohol consumption.
134 This document is directed at test laboratories and manufacturers of remote alcohol monitoring devices.
135 It defines requirements and test procedures for type testing.
136 Several parameter settings (such as alcohol concentration, breath volume or units of measurement)
137 are specified in this document for the purpose of type testing according to this standard only. However,
138 it may be necessary due to national regulations or depending on user requests to set the values of the
139 prescribed parameter settings differently when the remote alcohol monitoring devices are in use.

168 3.1
169 remote alcohol monitoring device
170 device or system that measures the breath alcohol concentration of a person in an unsupervised
171 environment and which provides means for identification of the person providing the breath sample
172 and means of data communication in a secure format
173 Note 1 to entry: Devices can be fixed, mobile or portable and may be a system consisting of more than one
174 element.
175 3.2
176 breath alcohol concentration

192 3.6
193 accepted breath sample
194 breath sample fulfilling set requirements for volume, flow, exhalation time and other human breath
