Abstract

This key comparison involved primary standards of ethanol in air maintained at eight laboratories. The nominal amount fraction of the standards used for the comparison was 120 mmol/mol which is typical of the levels used to calibrate evidential breath analysers in many countries. Such standards fulfil the agreed OIML requirements for the calibration of evidential breath-alcohol analysers and are able to provide a more accurate calibration at field level than ethanol/water solution-based simulators which have a high sensitivity to variations in the temperature of the solution.
