EN 50436 is a series of European Standards for Ignition interlock devices ''(Syn.: Alcohol interlock'' called). An alcohol interlock consists basically of an instrument measuring breath alcohol and a vehicle immobilizer. The installation is possible in different types of vehicles like passenger cars, buses, transporters, motorcycles or trains. A breath sample has to be delivered to the alcohol interlock before the vehicle motor can be started or the vehicle can be moved. The alcohol interlock will prevent the driver to start the motor if he/she has an alcohol concentration above a predetermined limit value. An alcohol interlock consists of two main components: the breath alcohol measuring instrument with the measuring system and a mouthpiece located in the interior of the vehicle, and the control unit normally installed under the dashboard and unblocking, resp. blocking the current supply to the starter relay of the vehicle. 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 legally required in certain vehicles (for example 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. == Standard series EN 50436 == The series of European Standards EN 50436 „Alcohol interlocks - Test methods and performance requirements“ are developed since the year 2013 by the committee BTTF 116-2 „Alcohol interlocks“ of the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC). The members have been nominated by the national standardisation organisations of numerous European countries. They represent ministries, road traffic authorities, road safety organisations, labour unions, testing laboratories as well as manufacturers of alcohol interlocks and vehicles. The committee has under the chairmanship of Dr.habil Johannes Lagois developed the series EN 50436 of European Standards. The compliance with these standards is in the meantime required in laws and regulations of several European countries as technical requirement for the use of alcohol interlocks. The series EN 50436 specifies the test procedures and basic performance requirements for alcohol interlocks and gives guidance to authorities, decision makers, purchasers and users. Additionally, it describes the requirements for vehicles for the installation alcohol interlocks. The standards may be bought through the national standardisation organisations being members of the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) in the three language versions English,〔(Webpage of BSI )〕 German 〔(Webpage of Beuth-Verlag of DIN )〕〔(Webpage of AUSTRIAN STANDARDS )〕 and French.〔(Webpage of AFNOR )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「EN 50436」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
