Cannabis Control Testing Requirements for Cannabis and Cannabis Products
TESTING REQUIREMENTS FOR CANNABIS AND CANNABIS PRODUCTS
Cannabis “Phase 3” Testing Requirements Begin December 31st. All cannabis harvested, and all cannabis products manufactured, on or after 12/31 must go through Phase 3 testing (in addition to the other requirements). See the requirements.
CONSEQUENCES OF FAILING TESTING REQUIREMENTS:
- Cannabis and products cannot be transported to any retailer for sale
- The lab may not re-test, and must issue a Certificate of Analysis (COA) based on the initial testing (initial COAs may not be amended)
- Must quarantine the goods at the distribution site with a clearly identifiable batch number
- Before attempting to remediate, a corrective action plan must be approved by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH); then, the remediated goods must be returned to the distribution center for testing before it is transported to retailers
It is also important to note that once a sample has been collected by the lab, the licensee may not cancel that test.
