The Standards Council of Canada (SCC)

voted to end its Laboratory Accreditation

Program for Substance Abuse (LAPSA)

effective May 12, 1998. Laboratories certified

through that program were accredited to

conduct forensic urine drug testing as

required by U.S. Department of

Transportation (DOT) regulations. As of that

date, the certification of those accredited

Canadian laboratories will continue under

DOT authority. The responsibility for

conducting quarterly performance testing

plus periodic on-site inspections of those

LAPSA-accredited laboratories was

transferred to the U.S. DHHS, with the

DHHS’ National Laboratory Certification

Program (NLCP) contractor continuing to

have an active role in the performance testing

and laboratory inspection processes. Other

Canadian laboratories wishing to be

considered for the NLCP may apply directly

to the NLCP contractor just as U.S.

laboratories do.

Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to be

qualified, the DHHS will recommend that

DOT certify the laboratory (Federal Register,

16 July 1996) as meeting the minimum

standards of the ‘‘Mandatory Guidelines for

Workplace Drug Testing’’ (59 Federal

Register, 9 June 1994, Pages 29908–29931).

After receiving the DOT certification, the

laboratory will be included in the monthly

list of DHHS certified laboratories and

participate in the NLCP certification

maintenance program.

Executive Officer, Substance Abuse and

Mental Health Services Administration.
