General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Regulation is a binding legislative act that must be applied in its entirety across the European Union. Unlike directives, regulations do not need to be transposed into national law and are directly applicable in all member states. Regulations are used when uniform application across all EU countries is essential.
Regulation 2019/2144/EU covers "Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on type-approval requirements for motor vehicles and their trailers, and systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles, as regards their general safety and the protection of vehicle occupants and vulnerable road users, amending Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Regulations (EC) No 78/2009, (EC) No 79/2009 and (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulations (EC) No 631/2009, (EU) No 406/2010, (EU) No 672/2010, (EU) No 1003/2010, (EU) No 1005/2010, (EU) No 1008/2010, (EU) No 1009/2010, (EU) No 19/2011, (EU) No 109/2011, (EU) No 458/2011, (EU) No 65/2012, (EU) No 130/2012, (EU) No 347/2012, (EU) No 351/2012, (EU) No 1230/2012 and (EU) 2015/166 (Text with EEA relevance)". There are 6 standards associated with this regulation.
Harmonized standards under 2019/2144/EU are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 2019/2144/EU, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
This European Standard defines the content and the layout of an installation document providing necessary and useful information about the aftermarket installation of an alcohol interlock into a vehicle. It details the type of the vehicle, connection schematics, accessibility instructions and recommendations to avoid safety risks. The contents and layout ensures that the information document be easy to use by installers in different countries and may be available in paper or electronic format. This European Standard is applicable to alcohol interlocks according EN 50436-1 and EN 50436-2. This European Standard is mostly intended for vehicle manufacturers and manufacturers of alcohol interlocks. This European Standard does not apply to: - the process of handling the installation documents; - the installation process; - information related to education and training for installers; - general performance requirements for alcohol interlocks (see EN 50436-1 and EN 50436-2); - the installation of the alcohol interlock during the production of the vehicle.

This European Standard specifies test methods and performance requirements for breath alcohol con¬trolled alcohol interlocks. It covers alcohol interlocks intended to be used in programmes for drink driving offenders as well as in programmes monitored or controlled in a comparable way. This European Standard is directed at test laboratories and manufacturers of alcohol interlocks. It defines requirements and test procedures for type approval. Several parameters (such as alcohol concentration or breath volume) are specified in this European Standard for the purpose of type testing according to this European Standard only. However, it may be neces¬sary due to national regulations or depending on user requests to set the values of the prescribed parameters differently when the alcohol interlocks are in use. This European Standard also applies to alcohol interlocks integrated into other control systems of the vehicle. This European Standard does not apply to – alcohol interlocks intended for general preventive use (see EN 50436-2), – instruments measuring the alcohol concentration in the ambient air in the vehicle, – alcohol interlocks not having a mouthpiece, – methods of installation and connections to the vehicle.
