What is Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) Testing at Element?
Used to prevent drunk driving, a breath alcohol ignition interlock device (also known as BAIID, BIID, alcohol interlock device or adult safety interlock) is a breath analysis mechanism that integrates into a vehicle’s dashboard and prevents it from starting without a passing breath sample. BAIID testing is critical to ensuring the proper function of a device, meeting state or federal regulations and keeping drivers safe.
At Element, we deliver comprehensive testing services across environmental, performance, and regulatory requirements for global markets.
