Where can I find an approved breathalyzer (EAD) installer?
Publié le null - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Need to settle an EAD on your car? Where can I find the authorized installer closest to your home? The Road Safety offers a map of the establishments by department. The purpose of this service is to facilitate the installation of this device which allows certain drivers liable to a suspension of license for driving under an alcoholic condition to retain their right to drive if they agree to equip their vehicle.
This map lists 226 establishments spread over the territory who have obtained a qualification from the Union Technique de l'Automobile et du Cycle (UTAC) and approval from the prefectures to install start-up breathalyzer (EAD).
The ignition interlock breathalyzer is an instrument associated with the vehicle for measuring the level of alcohol in the exhaled air. It prevents the engine from starting if the recorded rate is greater than 0.1 mg/l of expired air. This device is proposed as an alternative to the withdrawal of licenses for persons with a blood alcohol content of more than 0.8 g/l. This measure allows those who benefit from it to maintain a professional, family or social activity, when this can only be done by car.
Reminder
The maximum permitted blood alcohol level for drivers using an ignition interlock breathalyzer (EAD) is set at 0,1 mg/l of expired air.
FYI
In 2019, 1,052 people lost their lives in a driver-related crash above the permitted blood alcohol level, and nearly 8,000 were injured. In 2019, 115,385 alcohol offenses were recorded 17.6% traffic offenses.
