EN 50436-4:2019 (E)
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. The European Standard series
EN 50436 specifies test methods and essential performance requirements for alcohol interlocks and
gives guidance for decision makers, purchasers and users.
There are several areas in which alcohol interlocks may be used:
— installed in a vehicle as a general preventive measure for the promotion of traffic safety, on a
voluntary base 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 after-market installation. For this purpose they have to be
connected to the electrical circuits of the vehicle.
This installation of an alcohol interlock shall not interfere with the proper performance of the vehicle,
shall not impair the safety and security of the vehicle, and shall be as easy and as fast 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 standardised interface between alcohol interlocks and vehicles.
The alcohol interlock suppliers shall detail all the information that they will use/send. All used
data/information shall respect the cyber security protocol and rules of the vehicle.
NOTE A new standard ISO/SAE 21434 to define requirements for cybersecurity engineering is under
preparation.
All data required by the alcohol interlock from the vehicle shall be defined clearly and not be
transferred outside the vehicle if this digital communication is used.

1 Scope
This document specifies the interface between an alcohol interlock for production and aftermarket
installation and a vehicle. It details the modes of electrical connections, the assignment of electrical
connection lines as well as the information to be exchanged between the vehicle and the alcohol
interlock.
This document is applicable to alcohol interlocks for drink-driving-offender programmes (as in
EN 50436-1) as well as to alcohol interlocks for general preventive use (as in EN 50436-2).
This document is mainly directed at manufacturers of alcohol interlocks and at vehicle manufacturers.
