To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) when he plans to introduce saliva drug testing kits for drugs other than cannabis; and if he will make a statement;
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) when he plans to introduce saliva drug testing kits for drugs other than cannabis; and if he will make a statement;
The Road Traffic Act 1988 stipulates that drug testing devices must be of a type approved by the Secretary of State. The type approval testing process involves detailed laboratory evaluation to ensure that devices meet the stringent technical requirements laid out in published specifications. These specifications define the requirements for the construction of Preliminary Drug Testing Devices for both station-based and mobile drug testing devices.
In 2012, a device was type approved for use in police stations for the detection of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, one of the psychoactive components of cannabis). In 2013, a specification for mobile drug testing devices was released, and manufacturers were invited to submit mobile devices for consideration for type approval. Work is ongoing towards type approval of mobile drug testing devices that will test for cannabis, cocaine and the main metabolite of cocaine, benzoylecgonine. It is anticipated that laboratory testing of devices will commence in the next three months. This is to ensure that a
recommendation for type approval of mobile drug testing devices can be made as close as possible to the introduction of the new drug driving offence planned for summer 2014.
