5 Allocation of sample identification numbers by approved tester

(1)When an approved tester conducts an initial drug test for which a positive result is recorded, the approved tester is to allocate to the body sample that is to be sent for a confirmatory drug test a sample identification number chosen from, and in the order in which it appears in, a sequence of numbers assigned by the approving authority to the approved tester.

(2)The approved tester is to add to the number so allocated the date of birth of the donor of the sample, expressed in the form “dd/mm/yy”, where “dd’ is a 2-digit designation of the day, “mm” is a 2-digit designation of the month, and “yy” is a 2-digit designation of the year.

(3)The combination of the allocated sample identification number and the donor’s date of birth constitutes the sample identifier mentioned in Subpart 99.C of CASR 1998.

(4)Except for the purposes of clause 6, an approved tester is not to allocate the same sample identification number to more than 1 body sample.
