5.1.1.1 General
A breath alcohol ignition interlock device may be a stand alone device or it may be integrated with other vehicular systems such as engine management computers or alarms. AlI of the breath alcohol ignition interlock device's specific requirements, as specified in Clause 5, shall be met when a breath alcohol ignition interlock device is integrated with other vehicular systems.
5.1.1.2 Accessory devices
Manufacturer-authorized alcohol ignition interlock accessory devices that are intended to be used in the vehicle during operation shall be tested in accordance with this Standard. All the tests shall be carried out on two samples of each accessory device. However, at the discretion of the test laboratory,additional samples may be used if this is not considered to affect the results of the other tests.
Notes:
1) Examples of manufacturer authorized accessory devices include cameras or GPS-generating data related to event data of the alcohol ignition interlock device, as well as accessory devices handling or transferring data for an offender program. Accessory devices used only to receive dato from the breath alcohol ignition interlock device are not to be tested (e.g, devices such as general GPSs or fleet management systems).
2) In Canada, the authority having jurisdiction may define which accessory devices are to be tested.
5.1.1.3 Accessory device testing
The following tests shall be performed with the accessory devices:
a) tampering (Clause 5.3.15), to be tested together with the breath alcohol ignition interlock device;
b) data memory, download, and evaluation (Clause 5.3.7), where applicable;
c) electrical tests (Clause 5.1.3), to be tested together with the breath alcohol ignition interlock device;
d) durability (Clause 8.3), with drop test (Clause 8.3.6), applicable only for accessory devices intended to be removable by the user; and
e) environmental tests (Clause 8.4), without altitude test (Clause 8.4.6), to be tested together with the breath alcohol ignition interlock device.
After having passed the tests specified in this Clause, the accessory devices shall perform as specified by the manufacturer.
5.1.2 Type of sensor
A breath alcohol ignition interlock device shall use alcohol-specific sensors that distinguish between the presence of alcohol and other chemicals or substances. The sensor shall be evaluated for alcohol specificity as specified in Clause 8.6.6.
5.1.3 Electrical and communication requirements - Current draw
To minimize the drain on the vehicle's battery, the breath alcohol ignition interlock device shall include a low-power consumption state to be activated when the device is not used for extended periods of time. When tested as specified in Clause 8.5.3, the total time-weighted average current draw over a 24 h period when the device is in the low-power consumption state shall be less than 5 mA with all the affiliated accessory devices connected.CAN CSA Z627-16 pdf download.
