Now enacted as SOR/2024-66. This proposal has become law — the page below reflects the version published for comment.

What this regulation does

This Order updates and replaces the outdated 1985 Approved Screening Devices Order, adding the Alcotest 6000 as a new legally approved roadside breath-testing device that police across Canada can use in impaired driving investigations.

Plain-language summary by Legisail.

Business impact

This regulation primarily affects federal and provincial law enforcement agencies, not private businesses. Police services that choose to adopt the Alcotest 6000 will face equipment purchase costs and officer training expenses, but these decisions are entirely voluntary — each agency decides whether to buy and deploy the new device. The small business lens was not applied because there are no costs or administrative burdens imposed on businesses. There are no compliance requirements or administrative changes affecting the private sector.
