Find your country's enquiry point on WTO ePing (opens in a new tab)The draft amends the Order on ignition interlocks to reflect the latest amendment to the Road Traffic Act (Act No. 567 of 27 May 2025), which lowered the blood alcohol level limit to 0.2 for first-time buyers in the first three years. The Order stipulates that ignition interlocks may be set at 0.10 mg of alcohol per litre of exhaled air for that part of the participation period which falls within the first 3 years after the first acquisition of the right to drive an ordinary car. The amendment is implemented in order to adapt the Order on ignition interlocks to the lower alcohol level for first-time acquirers in the first 3 years, thereby facilitating the implementation of the legislative amendment using the correct technical function. The aim is to ensure consistency between technical requirements for ignition interlock devices and national legal requirements. The change affects technical characteristics and settings of ignition interlock devices, but does not change requirements for other users of ignition interlock devices. No new barriers to trade are expected, as the amendment to the Order only clarifies the setting options for existing technology.
