10、REFACE This Standard was prepared by Standards Australia Committee CS/77, Blood Alcohol Testing Devices, to supersede AS 35471993. This Standard incorporates Amendment No. 1 (June 2000). The changes required by the Amendment(s) are indicated in the text by a marginal bar and amendment number against
11、 the clause, note, table, figure, or part thereof affected. While the performance criteria for the breath alcohol testing devices specified within remain largely unchanged in this edition, the test requirements for these devices have been clarified and more closely aligned. Other changes to the Stan
12、dard include (i)an alignment of the minimum calibration periods and display requirements for Type 2, Type 3 and Type 4 devices; (ii)replacement of the vibration and dust exposure tests for Type 2 devices with a simple robustness test; and (iii)removal of requirements for analogue displays, due to th
13、e increasing obsolescence of devices incorporating such displays. The Committee was aware that recalibration of electronic breath alcohol testing devices at regular intervals is vital if accurate results are to be obtained. Provision of recalibration facilities to the general public at a reasonable
14、price, should, in the opinion of the Committee, be a prerequisite for the sale of electronic breath alcohol devices for personal use. Obviously, such a requirement could not be included in an Australian Standard product specification, and itis therefore only includedas a recommendationfor considerat
15、ion by the appropriate regulatory authorities and by the suppliers of these devices. Requirements specified in Section 5 for breath alcohol testing devices such as those which are fitted to motor vehicles or machinery relate only to the performance and accuracy of these devices in measuring the alco
16、hol content of expired air and in providing an appropriate output signal to the circuitry which interacts with the vehicle or machine. Requirements are not included for systems which are designed to ensure that only the drivers or operators breath is measured and no other source of air is introduced
17、 into the device. The means by which these devices interact with motor vehicles or machinery to inhibit their use are also not specified. In both instances these functions were considered to be beyond the scope of this Standard. The term normative has been used in this Standard to define the applica
18、tion of the appendix to which it applies. A normative appendix is an integral part of a Standard.
