P a g e

  

5

 

 

 

 

SAF’IR  EVOLUTION  is  a  portable  ethylometre  certified  according  to  the  International 
Recommendation  R.126  of  the  International  Organization  of  Legal  Metrology  concerning 
ethylometres, 1998 Edition.   

 

SAF’IR  EVOLUTION  measures  the  concentration  of  ethanol  in  exhaled  breath.    Numerous 
studies  carried  out  worldwide  have  shown  that  the  ratio  of  blood  alcohol  concentration 
(BAC) to exhaled alveolar breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) is a constant. 

 

SAF’IR  EVOLUTION  is  a  self-contained  and  portable  instrument  that  may  be  used  either 
indoors  or  outdoors.    The  results  of  the  tests  performed  by  SAF’IR  EVOLUTION  present 
evidential accuracy and the printed confirmation may be used in court, according to the local 
regulations.  

 

Terms used in this manual: 

 

BrAC = breath alcohol concentration 

 

BAC = blood alcohol concentration 

 

Legal limit = set according to each country’s local regulations
