Get accurate alcohol test results from ARCpoint' federal DOT compliant Breathalyzer testing services

Federal testing regulations require that an evidential breath testing device (EBT) approved by NHTSA be used for alcohol testing. This machine must be operated by a trained breath alcohol technician (BAT) following the procedures set forth in CFR 40 Subpart C.

When To Use Breathalyzer Tests

The rules allow for screening tests to be conducted using saliva devices or breath testing using evidential breath testing (EBT) and non-evidential breath testing devices approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The driver and the individual conducting the confirmation breathalyzer test (called a breath alcohol technician (BAT) complete the alcohol testing form to ensure that the results are properly recorded. The confirmation test, if required, must be conducted using an EBT that prints out the results, date and time, a sequential test number, and the name and serial number of the EBT to ensure the reliability of the results.
