CAN - Cannabis
Article 4 - Adult-Use Cannabis
82 - Laboratory Testing.

§  82.  Laboratory  testing.  1. Every processor of adult-use cannabis
shall contract with an  independent  laboratory  permitted  pursuant  to
section  one  hundred  twenty-nine of this chapter, to test the cannabis
products it produces pursuant to rules and regulations prescribed by the
office.  The board may assign an approved testing laboratory, which  the
processor  of  adult-use  cannabis must use, and may establish consortia
with neighboring states, to inform best practices, and share  laboratory
data.
  2.  Adult-use  cannabis  processors, microbusinesses, cooperatives and
registered organizations shall make laboratory test reports available to
licensed distributors,  retail  dispensaries,  and  on-site  consumption
sites  for  all  cannabis  products  manufactured  by  the  processor or
licensee.
  3. Licensed retail dispensaries shall maintain accurate  documentation
of laboratory test reports for each cannabis product offered for sale to
cannabis  consumers. Such documentation shall be made publicly available
by the licensed retail dispensary.
  4. Onsite laboratory testing by licensees is  permissible  subject  to
regulation;  however,  such  testing shall not be certified by the board
and does not exempt  the  licensee  from  the  requirements  of  quality
assurance testing at a testing laboratory pursuant to this section.
  5.  An  owner of a cannabis laboratory testing permit shall not hold a
license, or interest in a license, in any  other  category  within  this
article  and  shall  not  own or have ownership interest in a registered
organization registered pursuant to article three of this chapter  or  a
cannabinoid  hemp  processor  license  pursuant  to article five of this
chapter.
  6. The board shall have the authority to require  any  licensee  under
this  article  to  submit  cannabis  or cannabis products to one or more
independent laboratories  for  testing  and  the  board  may  promulgate
regulations  related  to  all aspects of third-party testing and quality
assurance including but not limited to:
  (a) minimum testing and sampling requirements;
  (b) testing and sampling methodologies;
  (c) testing reporting requirements;
  (d) retesting; and
  (e) product quarantine, hold, recall, and remediation.
