The sale of breathalyzer tests becomes compulsory in supermarkets and cavists
Publié le null - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
As of 1er in july, supermarkets, grocery stores, wine cellars and websites or any other store that sells take-home alcohol will also have to sell alcohol tests. That is indicated in an order in council in the Official Journal of 7 April 2021. Until now only night establishments were subject to this rule. The point with Service-Public.fr.
Within 3 months, the businesses concerned must offer for sale approved chemical or electronic alcohol tests, close to the department with the largest volume of alcoholic beverages or near the cash register. They must have a minimum stock of 10 or 25 alcohol tests, depending on the size of the alcohol rays.
In addition to the requirement to provide information on the importance of self-testing, physical outlets will also be required to settle a sign that mentions the sale as well as the location of the breath test. On online liquor sites, a banner must appear on the payment page in a fixed and visible way at all times.
Please note
owner-harvesters such as winemakers, who offer alcoholic beverages from their own harvest, as well as temporary outlets (at trade fairs, fairs or exhibitions) are not affected by the sale of breathalyzer tests, as they are not subject to the take-away license.
FYI
In case of non-compliance with these obligations (insufficient number of breathalyzer tests, non-compliance with the provisions relating to the display...), the shops concerned are liable to a flat-rate fine of €675 may be increased up to €1,875.
