Many or most suppliers of drug test equipment in Australia claim to have their product "complies with" or "in accordance with" Australian Standards, however this is far from the truth and many Australian suppliers do not consider they are putting the lives of many employees and employers at risk by selling a product they know does not work or far removed from the standard because there is no requirement to prove otherwise.
So ask for a NATA approved "Certificate of Verification" or at the very least a lab report to be sure the device actually works and you are confident of the accuracy, which could very well cost your company considerable angst and litigation.
In Saliva testing it is important to check the test for Cannabis as many devices do not detect the THC so you must check that Δ9 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC Parent) is the test medium.
In some cases the cut off (the level of ng/ml of substance in the system) may be too sensitive and create an excess of false positive with the likes of codeine etc. or so poor with Cannabis they may not detect anything.
In Australia there is little regulation and the TGA and Consumer Groups have no input so it is rife with all sorts of claims without reprocussion - So consumer be aware
