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. EN 50436 series specifies test
methods and essential performance requirements for alcohol interlocks and gives guidance for authorities,
decision makers, purchasers and users.
There are several ways in which alcohol interlocks can be used:
— installed in a vehicle as a general preventive measure for the promotion of traffic safety, on a voluntary
basis 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 aftermarket installation. For this purpose, they are connected to the
electric and control circuits of the vehicle.
This installation of an alcohol interlock should not interfere with the proper performance of the vehicle, should
not impair the safety and security of the vehicle and should be as simply 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 standardized installation document to provide technical information to the
installer of an alcohol interlock into a certain vehicle model, while the responsibility for the safe installation
will remain on the alcohol interlock installer.
1 Scope
This document 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 content and layout ensures that the information document is easy to use by installers in different
countries and can be available in paper or electronic format.
This document is applicable to alcohol interlocks according to EN 50436-1:2023.
This document is mostly intended for vehicle manufacturers and manufacturers of alcohol interlocks.
This document 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 50436-1:2023);
— the installation of the alcohol interlock during the production of the vehicle.
