When the safety of your team, the security of your operation and your level of legal exposure depends on you getting it right, choose a breathalyser fit for your purpose.
AS3547:2019 is the official Australian Standard for alcohol breath testing devices. This standard specifies the performance, accuracy, and testing requirements for breathalysers.
AS3547 outlines clear guidelines on:
- Product specifications
- Performance and accuracy standards
- Calibration and testing protocols
- Information to be provided with each device
Certification and Accuracy
Although certification under AS3547 is not mandatory, breathalysers that meet the standard have undergone rigorous third party testing, ensuring they meet strict accuracy and performance requirements. This is particularly important for devices used in workplaces
or safety-critical environments, where alcohol and drug testing policies must be strictly adhered to.
At MediNat, we understand the unique needs of the local market and have worked with leading manufacturers to develop drug testing devices specially designed for Australian Standards. Many of our devices are offered with attached printers, allowing for immediate creation of a paper record of each test. Our industrial breathalysers also offer a passive mode which is a faster test and will show either a simple pass or fail message – speeding up mass testing of entire departments or workforces. Note that to ensure accuracy, industrial breathalysers are required to be calibrated every six months.
