Required Tests as of 8/31
Required Tests* | |||||
Green plant material (flower, kief, trim, etc), concentrates that involve any sort of solvent (CO2, ethanol, hydrocarbon, etc), and infused fats will have new required tests under the new law. | |||||
Green Plant Material Required Tests | |||||
Moisture Analysis (not required for hash/kief/rosin) | Water Activity (new, not required for hash/kief/rosin) | Foreign Matter | Potency | Microbial (limits changing) | Mycotoxins (new) |
Concentrate (Hydrocarbon, CO2, Ethanol, Food Grade) Required Tests | |||
Potency | Mycotoxin Screening (new, only if starting material untested/failed) | Residual Solvents (new failure limits/requirement) |
Infused Cooking Oil/Fats Required Tests | ||
Potency | Microbial (only if made with untested/failed material) | Mycotoxin screening (new, only if made with untested/failed material) |
New Failure Thresholds | ||
The failure criteria for residual solvent testing and microbial testing are changing and the mycotoxin screening adds a new failure limit to be aware of. |
