Non-evidential screening devices may be used for the alcohol screening test, provided they are approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Devices approved by NHTSA are placed on the “Conforming Products List of Alcohol Screening Devices.” Confirmation tests must be done using an evidential breath testing device.
Individuals may act as a screening test technician (STT) if they have had the proper training and instruction required by §40.213. The training must be documented.
Many of the alcohol testing provisions apply to STTs as well as to BATs.
Refer to Part 40, Subpart L for testing requirements.
The non-evidential screening device must have an approved quality assurance plan. The device must be used in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
Refer to Part 40, Subpart N, for information on handling issues such as a refusal to test and situations that cause a test to be cancelled.
The DOT Alcohol Testing form is to be used for recording the test.
