  2. ? What is an European Standard European Standard (EN): - high relevance- often referenced in European or national laws- used as the detailed technical requirements Participation of all stakeholders: - authorities- users- manufacturers - represented in each national committee- voting for acceptance by national committees

  3. European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization Comité Européen de Normalisation Electrotechnique Europäisches Komitee für elektrotechnische Normung

  4. Why an European Standard ? Available standards / requirements for alcohol interlocks: - in several points weak or not clear - not the actual state of the art Experience in North America: - insufficient technical performance impairs the image of alcohol interlocks and (new) drink-driving-offender programs Laws / regulations / users in European countries: - official European or international document necessary for reference

  6. General approach European Standard: - only technical tests and requirements for type testing- no certain technical solutions required (e.g. type of sensor technology)- but performance requirements (e.g. cross sensitivities, long term stability) National regulations: detailed settings for: - limit value of ethanol concentration - activation of retests
