Scope

1.1 This guide provides recommendations for a laboratory licensed or otherwise designated to provide analytical support within the cannabis/hemp industry. Within the scope of this guide, the term cannabis/hemp is inclusive of hemp plants and derived products. This guide presents best laboratory practices, recommended certifications, recommended types of analyses typically required in the cannabis/hemp industry, and recommended quality functions associated with laboratories supporting the cannabis/hemp industry.

1.2 These recommendations establish a basis for oversight for the analytical testing of cannabis/hemp products. This guide was developed as a complement to existing best practices and, in supporting conformance to current good manufacturing practices (GMP), which are typically required regulatory practices relevant to the cannabis/hemp industries; these recommendations focus on the personnel, security, sample handling and disposal, quality support, data management and reporting activities.

1.3 This guide generally describes the properties of cannabis/hemp, and cannabis/hemp/cannabis-hemp-derived products to be analyzed.

1.4 No recommendations found within this guide shall preclude observance of regulations from authorities having regional jurisdiction, which may be more restrictive or have different requirements.
