1.1 SCOPE
This Standard sets out procedures for the sample collection and the detection and
quantitation of drugs of abuse in human urine. The method is intended for workplace,
medicolegal or court directed detection of any or all of the following classes of drugs:
(a) Opiates.
(b) Sympathomimetic amines.
(c) Cannabis metabolites.
(d) Cocaine metabolites.
(e) Benzodiazepines.
NOTE: The detection and reporting of drug classes other than those listed above is not precluded.
See Clause 6.1(g).
Aspects of this Standard have relevance to testing for drugs of abuse in urine; however,
clinical testing is outside the scope of this Standard. This Standard does not cover the
testing of urine samples following excessive intake of therapeutic drugs or vitamins,
exogenous hormone intake or ingestion of performance-enhancing drugs which may be used
by sports participants.
Procedures for initial testing are set out in Section 4. Procedures for confirmatory testing
are set out in Section 5.

It would appear that CASA are testing for drugs of abuse, plain & simple. Zero tolerance is to be applied, the central assumption appears to be the presence of any of these compounds at orders of magnitude below impairment levels indicates a "drug abuser".
