    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.

    The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) releases a notice informing federal agencies about laboratories and Instrumented Initial Testing Facilities (IITFs) certified to handle urine and oral fluid drug testing. The notice outlines that the certified labs meet the standards required for federal workplace drug testing. No laboratories are currently approved to conduct drug testing on oral fluid samples. The document lists various laboratories that are certified to perform drug tests on urine samples and describes the certification process for these testing facilities.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has some special places that check pee to make sure it's safe and tell if there are drugs in it. They say which places are allowed to do this for workers at certain jobs, but right now, no place can check spit for the same thing.
