Used by law enforcement, it must be reliable, precise, follow the AFNOR NF X 20 701 standard and be checked once a year for the test to be valid.

Since July 1, 2015, the blood alcohol limit is 0.2g/L of blood for young drivers on probation and less than 0.5g/L of blood for experienced drivers. How Chemical Breathalyzers Work Chemical breathalyzers work using reagents that react to the presence of alcohol in exhaled air. Simply blow into the balloon or directly into the tube after checking its expiration date, 2 years from the date of production. Once the balloon is inflated or until the white pellet is visible, the user must break the sealed ends of the analysis tube, or exert pressure on these same ends depending on the kits used. Using the Turdus Breathalyzer in 3 Steps Warm & Puncture Hold the breathalyzer in your hands for 30 seconds. Activate the test by pressing the 2 tips and perforating the aluminum membrane. Blow Aim the breathalyzer until you see the red dot. Inhale deeply and then exhale slowly in one go until the tablet turns white. Reading the result Wait until the tablet turns red again. If the reagent remains yellow: rate between 0.0 and 0.5g/l. If the reagent turns green: rate greater than or equal to 0.5g/l. Yellow: DRIVING ALLOWED. Green: DRIVING NOT AUTHORIZED. Reminder Please note that... Before using a disposable breathalyzer, you should know that consuming 1 additional glass of alcohol results in an increase in blood alcohol level of approximately 0.25 g/L. However, the assimilation of alcohol molecules by the body can be slow or fast depending on physical parameters. The rise in blood alcohol level continues until about 60 minutes after the final drink is consumed. Most of the time, the effects of alcohol molecules have not really dissipated despite popular belief: having a breathalyzer will prevent irreparable damage. Why this regulation? The regulations for the accepted alcohol level have been voluntarily adjusted for young drivers to follow the measure of July 1, 2015: they are the leading cause of death and disability for 18-25 year-olds and in ¼ of collisions the alcohol level is excessive.
