The Loop Drug-checking services are increasingly being introduced at electronic music festivals worldwide, including in countries like the UK, France, Australia, and New Zealand.

According to Rijeka -based association Terra (Tripsitters) , drug checking is an integrated service that allows individuals to chemically analyze drugs while providing counseling.
