We aim to gain trust through the gathering and dissemination of

information as an industry through making “requests and

recommendations”.

(It is not persuasive even if appealing for subsidies and

strengthening regulations without providing evidence or

information)

3. From in-house testing to third party

external testing

Independent Inspection(P9 Concerning Third Party Certification Inspection)

Continue to establish the PH-2 described in the certification test draft.

Activities planned for Third Party Certification

1. Approximate estimates are acquired from candidate agencies.

This informs the decision and the detailed quotation phase

2. Determination of amount = a detailed standardization decision. Therefore we aim for the start declaration of the verification system (Regardless of applicant availability)

Other, realization of a medium-term

goal

Cooperation with METI

(Device Weight Meeting・R126 Breathalyzer Subcommittee)

In FY 2015, the Consortium was officially founded.

Although recently AIST, JQA, and CERI are

specialized departments for official measurement

administration, etc.

Alcohol breathalyzers are not part of it.

→ Next time, as a council, we shall lecture on the

basics of breathalyzers and make revisions at the actual

engineering level. (Scheduled to be proposed next

fiscal year)

(6) International exchange on alcohol breathalyzer

technology and traffic safety.

○ICADTS（International Council on Alcohol, Drugs, and Traffic Safety)

At ICADTS, efforts to prevent drunk driving in Japan are being introduced such

as advanced usage of alcohol breathalyzers, up-to-date policy information on drunk

driving prevention measures across the world, and to develop members, related

ministries, and agencies.

(7) Continuous collaboration with administrative

agencies and organizations related to alcohol health

disorders under basic law.
