abstract="To describe the reliability of breath-alcohol testers, values are measured which characterize precision, accuracy, analytical sensitivity, drift, and hysteresis. The instruments tested were two infrared devices (Alcomat, Alcotest 7110) and one device equipped with a fuel cell (Alcolmeter EBA). Criteria of acceptability are the limits from the first preliminary draft of recommendations by the Organisation Internationale de MÃ©trologie LÃ©gale (OIML). The results of measurements clearly show the level of reliability of modern instruments which largely attain the OIML requirements. All measurements were performed with a simulator at 34 degrees C. Therefore the definite influence of breath temperature on the alcohol concentration could be neglected.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>",
