Description
- Activities
- In order to create the consensus standards, aoac will establish an advisory panel and working group of relevant stakeholders to draft the standards. Aoac will facilitate the meetings and drafting of the standards which will be posted for publication comment once completed. After publishing the standards, aoac will work with test kit manufacturers to solicit applications for certification.
- Expected outcomes
- The proposed work will produce two consensus-based standards for fieldable colorimetric drug tests - a standard method performance requirements document and a validation protocol. The development of these documents will enable test manufacturers to seek certification by aoac verifying their tests meet the minimum performance requirements.
- Intended beneficiaries
- Generation of consensus standards for fieldable colorimetric drug tests would direct support local, state, and federal law enforcement and public health agencies as well as U.S. Customs and border protection who regularly procure and use these tests. Indirectly, the development of these standards would support the general public by increase transparency in the performance of such tests when used in law enforcement settings.
