49 Introduction
50 The purpose of alcohol interlocks is to enhance traffic safety by preventing persons with alcohol
51 concentrations exceeding a set limit value from driving a motor vehicle. EN 50436 series specifies test
52 methods and essential performance requirements for alcohol interlocks and gives guidance for authorities,
53 decision makers, purchasers and users.
54 There are several ways in which alcohol interlocks may be used:
55 — installed in a vehicle as a general preventive measure for the promotion of traffic safety, on a voluntary
56 basis or required legally in certain vehicles (e.g. vehicles for children transport); or
57 — in vehicles as ordered by a court or an administrative authority as part of a drink-driving offender
58 programme; or
59 — for persons subject to a medical or rehabilitation programme.
60 Alcohol interlocks are often intended for aftermarket installation. For this purpose, they are connected to the
61 electric and control circuits of the vehicle.
62 This installation of an alcohol interlock should not interfere with the proper performance of the vehicle, should
63 not impair the safety and security of the vehicle and should be as straightforward as possible. Additionally,
64 the installation costs should be low in relation to the total cost of the alcohol interlock.
65 Therefore, it is desirable to have a standardized installation document to give the necessary details to the
66 technicians installing an alcohol interlock into a certain vehicle model, even if the responsibility for the safe
67 installation will remain on the alcohol interlock installer.

102 which can be brought into the not-blocking state only after the presentation and analysis of a breath sample
103 with an alcohol concentration below a limit value
104 Note 1 to entry: It normally consists of a handset and a control unit electrically connected to the vehicle.
105 Note 2 to entry: In this document, the expression “starting of the vehicle engine” includes provision of an output
106 signal from the alcohol interlock to the vehicle to enable the starting, operation or movement of the vehicle.
