The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published notices in the Federal Register that update two Conforming Products Lists (CPL) for alcohol testing devices.  One notice is for the CPL of Screening Devices to Measure Alcohol in Bodily Fluids.

The devices listed on these CPLs are the only devices allowed for use in the DOT alcohol testing program [see 40.229 and 40.231].  An alcohol screening test can be done using a screening device on the ASD CPL or using an EBT listed on the EBT CPL.  A confirmation alcohol must be done using an EBT on the EBT CPL. Only those EBTs listed without an asterisk (*) on the EBT CPL are authorized for use in screening and confirmation testing. Tests performed with devices not listed on the CPLs are not valid tests.
