    The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has released a notice about the laboratories and Instrumented Initial Testing Facilities (IITFs) certified to perform drug testing for federal agencies. These facilities must adhere to strict standards for testing urine and oral fluid specimens under the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs. Currently, no laboratories are certified for oral fluid drug testing, but several are approved for urine drug testing. A list of these certified facilities is updated monthly, and the details are accessible via the HHS website.
