Laboratory reporting requirements
Laboratories that perform testing must notify the overseeing state agency if any of the following is found during testing:
- Any failed test result (except failed water activity)
- Any pesticide test result with a "detected" level
- Tentative Identified Compounds (TICs)
Failed test results must be reported to the overseeing state agency by the testing laboratory within 24 hours of completion of the laboratory's data review and approval procedures. Results must be reported at the same time or before reporting to the grower or processor. If tests are sub-contracted out by a laboratory, the primary laboratory is responsible for reporting results to the overseeing state agency.
Control study information
The processor or processing site must fill out the control study certification form and give it to the primary testing laboratory. After the testing laboratory has completed testing and all tests received passing results, the laboratory must fill in the required information on the control study certification form. To receive approval for a control study, the laboratory that performed the testing for the processing site needs to submit the following information to the overseeing state agency:
Completed Control Study Certification Form;
A copy of all test results;
- A data sheet showing the requirements for a control study have been met; and
- For Medical Marijuana Registered Processors:
