Pickles Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The problem for France is that they are not NF marked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That company does not manufacture the breathalysers: it is just a reseller. The norms are referred to in the following document:http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=JORFTEXT000019656265&dateTexte=and are NF X20702 (July 2007) and NF X20703 (October 2000). Since the whole point of having a breathalyser comes down to meeting the legal requirement in case you are checked, what's the point in having one that does not carry the NF conformity?Waste of money.

However if the things are that cheap anyway probably best to go NF marked just to avoid the discussion at the roadside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
