The rules provide that the Sealing and Verification of Evidential Breath Analyzers be verified each year to protect people from unfair penalties due to defective equipment, according to the release.
Verified and standardized evidence breath analyzers will accurately measure blood alcohol concentration from breath samples, ensuring that intoxicated people are identified quickly and effectively. This helps prevent alcohol-related incidents on the road, helping to make travel safer for everyone.
The new rules require evidential breath analyzers to follow standardized testing procedures, ensuring consistent and reliable results across different devices. This standardization fosters public confidence in the fairness and accuracy of enforcement actions, the statement explained.
Evidential breath analyzers provide a non-invasive way to measure blood alcohol content and offer quick and painless sample collection. Rapid analysis capabilities allow law enforcement officers to make quick and informed decisions, improving the effectiveness of roadside enforcement.
The availability to the public of sealed and verified evidential breath analyzers can raise awareness about the effects of alcohol on impairment and the legal limits for the safe operation of vehicles and machinery. This encourages responsible behavior and informed decision making, according to the release.
The draft rules define "Evidence Breath Analyzers" as an instrument that measures and displays the mass breath alcohol concentration of exhaled human breath within specified error limits and are applicable to those types of breath analyzers with evidence that they use mouthpieces to take breath samples. The rules provide for several types of tests to ensure the correctness of the instrument. Annual verification will ensure the accuracy of this instrument during use, the statement added.
The draft rules outline several technical requirements for evidential breath analyzers, including:
* Showing only the final measurement result
*Includes a printer to record results and ensure the device does not run out of paper.
* Provide additional printed information along with the blood alcohol concentration result.
*Report results in different formats, such as blood alcohol concentration.
By ensuring that self-evident breath analyzers are accurate, standardized and easy to use, these rules will benefit the public through better enforcement, increased safety and increased confidence in legal and workplace alcohol testing, the statement added. .
The draft rules are published on the website for public comments until 26.07.2024 at the link: https://consumeraffairs.nic.in/sites/default/files/file-uploads/latestnews/Draft_Rule_Breath_Analyser.pdf
