ALCOLOCK CALIBRATION REQUIREMENTS
All Alcolock devices are required to be calibrated every 6 months. Traka can provide the means for this service to be
undertaken as part of a Service Contract. The calibration process itself is usually completed using dry gas and takes
just a few minutes to complete, however the procedure will vary depending upon the type of Alcolock device being
used.
Alcolock Threshold
The Blood Alchohol Content (BAC) threshold level can be set in the Alcolock device to comply with the regulations
according to the environment where the system is to be used. An example might be where drivers are monitored to
ensure they are not above the legal limit for driving. In the U.K the limit is currently 0.08% BAC which is
approximately 2 pints of normal strength beer. However in Sweden the limit is much lower at 0.02% BAC.
