Proficiency testing shall be provided by CTS in the following core areas: controlled substances, crime scene (bloodstain pattern), serology, DNA, firearms, tool marks, imprint/impression evidence, fiber, latent prints, paint, glass, flammables (fire debris), questions documents, and toxicology (blood/alcohol, drug). Proficiency testing is a requirement to maintain the FBI Laboratory's accreditation by the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors, Laboratory Accreditation (ASCLD/LAB).

Due to these strict requirements tests can only be purchased from vendors who have met ASCLD/LAB's strict criteria for the production of proficiency tests. Currently CTS is the only approved provider for crime scene (bloodstain pattern), firearms, tool marks, imprint/impression evidence, latent print, and questioned documents.
