Comment on Breathalyzer Kits in France-New French Breathalyzer Law a beaurocratic nightmare for french & english drivers or the way forward on drink driving by admin

We have now received clarification on the NF . For a breathalyzer to be recognised as suitable by the french police it will need to have the NF certificate. Understandably manufacturers on now clammering to get the NF certificate in time for the start of the new french breathalyzer law in July 2012. It has been implied that there will be a ‘period of grace’ until November 2012 which we think should mean that motorists will not be fined until after this time. I think this may be because the breathalyzer manufacturers are struggling to meet the demand for the NF breathalyzers so it may be that not enough will have been produced with the NF certificate before 1st July 2012. Most breathalyzer manufacturers that have applied for NF are hoping to have their NF certificate before the 1st July 2012 deadline.

Thank you for your comments Ben and SM.
As far as the NF certification goes we have not been able to find an official government website that specifies that the NF mark is a statuary requirement on these breathalyzer kits.
The CE certification is a statuary requirement but the NF mark is a voluntary french mark that appears on many goods sold in France but appears to be exclusive to France.
Here is a link to NF website
Was it the french governments intention to force british motorists to only purchase breathalyzer kits manufactured in France or was it their intention to reduce deaths on french roads caused by drink driving ?
There is a lot of misinformation and confusion abou the the new french breathalyzer regulations and from the comment from SM it would seem that even the french police are confused. This legislation has been sprung on the public and possibly on the police forces who are going to have to enforce it.

The law IS now fact - this is from the French Newspaper “The Local” and quotes the French Transport Ministry:

“Officials at the transport ministry confirmed to The Local on Monday that the rules will apply to anyone driving on French roads, including foreigners visiting the country.”

However - DO NOT be conned into buying a Breathalyzer kit that is NOT “NF” APPROVED. To be approved it MUST have a bag - and the “NF” logo. No Bag, No Logo = No Good. - YOU WILL STILL BE FINED!

The reason is simple; without a bag there is no way to know how much air has been blown through the tube. More air=higher reading, less air=lower reading. So if you don’t blow enough air, you won’t get an accurate reading. Useless - and that’s why they’re not NF-Approved.

They may well be FDA approved in the USA, but do you fancy your chances arguing with the Gendarme? “but Monsieur Policeman, it’s OK in the USA….” yeah, right.

If you’re buying a kit to use in France - buy one with a FRENCH approval (and preferably a French Kit)… unless you like arguing with policemen?

It would be helpful to have a link (albeit in French maybe) to the actual law.

At this moment - Is it LAW yet, or a PROPOSAL for Law?
There is no official notice on the http://www.securite-routiere.gouv.fr/ website.

According to the 2nd comment of this link http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-2104252/New-French-law-makes-breathalyser-kits-compulsory-motorists.html

“Ref: breath test kits - This is not yet the case. None of the legislation has hit the staute books. If stopped and required to proved a specimen of breath for a breath test, the equipment will still be provided by the law enforcement officer concerned. My local adjutant in the gendarmerie says that his service has not been advised of the implementation of the legislation, and in any case agrees with me, that a self administered chemical tube breath test is only a guide, and that it is more probable, that the electrical apparatus will still find a positive test after such a home blown tube. ……….
