Current through Bulletin 2024-06, March 15, 2024

(1) A lot or batch of cannabis plant product, cannabis concentrate, or cannabis product shall have its cannabinoid profile determined and listed on a COA as total THC, total CBD, and the total concentration of any THC analog known to be present.

(2) A lot or batch of cannabis plant product, cannabis concentrate, or cannabis product fail quality assurance testing for cannabinoid content if:

(a) it is not analyzed for each of the analytes listed in Table 2;

(b) the determined amount of any analyte exceeds its action level given in Table 2;

(c) it is found to contain a detectable amount of any of the artificially derived cannabinoids listed in Table 3 as determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy; or

(d) greater than 10% of the total cannabinoid peak area is comprised of unknown cannabinoids after peaks smaller than 1% of the total peak area have been excluded as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD).
