European Laboratory Guidelines for Legally Defensible Workplace Drug Testing
These guidelines for Legally Defensible
Workplace Drug Testing have been prepared by the European Workplace
Drug Testing Society (EWDTS). They are based on the UK Guidelines
drawn up by a Steering Group representing the following UK analytical
laboratories:
- Cardiff BioAnalytical Services
- Department of Forensic Medicine & Science, University
of Glasgow
- Forensic Science Service
- JMJ Laboratories
- LGC
- London Toxicology Group
- Medscreen
- Newcastle Royal Infirmary Toxicology Department,
- OmniLabs
- Scientifics
- Tackler Analytical
The European Guidelines are designed to establish best practice
procedures whilst allowing individual countries to operate within
the requirements of national customs and legislation. The detail
within the appendices will therefore vary from country to country.
The EWDTS is the owner of these Guidelines (requires copyright
statement).
These Guidelines relate only to the collection of urine samples,
their laboratory analysis, and subsequent interpretation of
the results.
The EWDTS guidelines have been approved by the Laboratory Committee
of EA
(European co-operation for Accreditation) as a technical
document (category 4). and they can be accessed on their website
