Only evidential breath testing devices (EBTs) and alcohol screening devices (ASDs) on the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) conforming products list (CPL) may be used for alcohol screening tests. An ASD that is on the NHTSA CPL for DOT alcohol tests may only be used if there are instructions for its use in Part 40. 

The only internationally used standard concerns the flammability testing of interior materials of motorcars. The US National Highway Transport Safety Administration was the first in regulating this test method when it published its Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS No. 302) in 1972, which was accepted by the International Standard Organization as ISO 3795-1976 (E). 

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that 100,000 car crashes each year are caused by drowsy drivers, resulting in at least 1,550 deaths and 40,000 injuries. These accidents are obviously not limited to just the transportation industry, but rather to the population as a whole. No matter the circumstances, it is clear that the inattentive driving that fatigue causes results in injuries and death. 

The US National Highway Transportation Safety Administration plans to change its rear-impact test for cars from 30 to 50 mph. Tlie implications for fire safety are huge, as they would affect fuel systems, interior as well as certain exterior components.
