Today, a news about "the latest drunk driving standards will be implemented from March 1, 2024" on the hot search. What's going on? Let's take a look.
In fact, the standard was issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Standardization Administration of the People's Republic of China on August 6, 2023. The standard name is: "Ethanol, methanol, n-propanol, propanol, isopropanol and n-butanol test in blood and urine"; The standard number is: GB T 42430-2023. The standard will be implemented on March 1, 2024. There are several changes to the new standard:
Variation. 1. Ethanol content detection.
The standard uses the test amount of ethanol in the blood as an example:
The standard for drinking and driving is 020mg ml, as long as the driver's blood alcohol level exceeds 020mg ml is a drink driver.
The drunk driving standard remains at 080mg ml, that is, the level of ethanol in the driver's blood is greater than or equal to 080mg ml is drunk driving.
At the same time, the new standard also stipulates that the linearity range of the test is 01mg/ml~3mg/ml。
Variation. 2. Detection methods.
The new standard uses gas chromatography and electrochemical sensor methods as methods for the detection of ethanol in blood and urine. The original standard only specified gas chromatography as a test method for laboratories.
Variation. 3. The conversion factor between the amount of ethanol in the blood and the amount of ethanol in the breath.
The new standard is based on the latest scientific research and statistics, as well as more in line with the physical and metabolic characteristics of Chinese. Adjust the coefficient from 2100 to 2300.
The new DUI test provides a more precise definition of drunk driving and drunk driving. In addition, the new inspection standard introduces new testing technology to improve the scientificity and accuracy of the inspection results.
After the implementation of the new standard, the crackdown on drunk driving will be more severe, and at the same time, it will also give drivers a clearer understanding, so that everyone can improve public safety awareness and responsibility.
Finally, one more reminder to everyone, don't drink while driving, and don't drive when you drink. For your own safety and the safety of others, be sure to remember! Hopefully, there will be no more tragedies caused by drunk driving. I wish you all a happy and healthy new year.
