    The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued a notice about laboratories that are currently certified to perform drug testing for federal workplace programs. These laboratories need to meet strict standards, and they can conduct drug tests using urine, but not oral fluid, due to existing guidelines. The notice includes a list of these certified laboratories and testing facilities, noting that no labs are currently certified for oral fluid drug testing. Additionally, the notice specifies that to keep their certification, these labs must undergo regular performance tests and inspections.

    The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced an updated list of laboratories and Instrumented Initial Testing Facilities (IITFs) certified to comply with federal drug testing standards for urine and oral fluid samples. Currently, there are no certified laboratories for oral fluid testing, and the list includes details of facilities certified for urine testing. For a lab to be certified, it must undergo stringent performance tests and inspections, and HHS releases these updates in the Federal Register monthly. Additionally, it mentions that Quest Diagnostics in Tucker, GA, is voluntarily withdrawing from the certification program as of March 15, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of health rules have a list of places that check if people have been using bad drugs. Right now, they only have places that check pee, but not spit, because no places are ready for that yet.
