Objectives and Activities of the Japan Breath Alcohol
Consortium
Philosophy (Foundation Meeting)In recent years, alcohol-related traffic accidents caused by drunk driving have become a major
social problem. For this reason, in order to prevent unruly or dangerous driving, in 2006 the
revision of Criminal Law further strengthened the stipulating of regulations and penalties for
accidental death or injury by motor vehicles was carried out. From May 2011, under law drivers
were required to submit to an alcohol breath test in addition to conventional visual checks, etc. at
the time of starting their shift.
In addition health issues due to excessive drinking are on the rise. Excessive alcohol
consumption raises the risk of health problems, acute alcohol poisoning and alcoholism. To that
end, the role of alcohol breathalyzers to encourage responsible alcohol consumption is
becoming increasingly important.
Since the the market is expanding year by year alcohol breathalyzers have a wide range of
products for general use in health management and alcohol detection for the transportation industry.
In addition to this, alcohol breathalyzers are used in various scenes for both general public and
business operators, but as of February the national administrative law center launched a precaution
stating warning s about misusage. To this end, the Consortium has established two working groups
(“Certification Working Group”, “Promotion Awareness Working Group”) from the beginning
improvement of breathalyzer technology in tandem with education on the correct way to cope
with alcohol abuse, drinking and driving, and prevention. Specifically, in the “Working Test
Group” we certify that certain quality standards are met. We have established evaluation criteria
and quality assurance guidelines for the introduction of our certification system. On the other hand,
the “dissemination and awareness working group” is planning information dissemination,
symposiums etc. on drunk driving prevention and proper alcohol breathalyzer use in cooperation
with various organizations and companies.

trust by aggregating and disclosing information to the public.
(There is no persuasive power even if appealing for subsidies
and regulations unless appropriate evidence or information has
been issued)

Drunk driving and the eradication of other malicious law violations
2020 Plan
“Drunk driving, taking stimulants, or other dangerous drugs are highly illegal and are
unacceptable before the operation of commercial vehicles. However, as of 2016 there
are still 54 cases of human injuries caused by drunk driving of business vehicles.”
Operations management, should conduct regular supervision on a continuous and
iterative basis so that the driver does not do such an action, and the administration
needs to strictly dispose of the violation.
Moreover, due to the potential for addictive behaviors to continue because of
medical or psychological dependence by using the device business operators can
detect alcohol at the time of clocking in etc., belongings can also be checked and
mobile phone/smart phones during a shift should be managed by operation managers
such as keeping them in a place not reachable from the driver’s seat for measures to
take into consideration such as alcohol checks and medical trends determined
according to the results in order to keep correct protocol

Regarding the announcement and interpretation of terms it is necessary beforehand to
exchange opinions about requirements. For instance, there is an “evaluation system” and “subsidy system”
for alcohol breathalyzers, even though performance requirements are not called into question, as a maker,
research and development at low cost and less investment is absolutely essential.
