Technical Information

All breathalyser sensors require recalibration at intervals of 6 or 12 months depending on use, model specifications and regulatory requirements to ensure that results obtained using the instruments are accurate during the period of use. Alcohol Breathalysers (Pty) Ltd is capable of servicing iBlow, iSober, AL-series, Alcomate and Alcoscan brands of breathalysers.

When breathalysers are used beyond their specifications the sensors would need to be recalibrated at shorter intervals.

Breathalyser Screeners for Law-Enforcement in South Africa must be serviced and recalibrated at 6 month intervals regardless of the amount of use.

Calibration Certificates are provided with new workplace, industrial and law-enforcement models upon purchase and after a recalibration service has been completed.
