Why Companies Routinely Perform
QA and R&D Testing

QA & R&D testing is discretionary and performed by cannabis and hemp companies for internal use (as opposed
to compliance testing, which is performed for regulatory compliance purposes). There are a number of reasons
why companies routinely perform QA & R&D testing:

  • To evaluate the quality and safety of raw material inputs and in process materials prior to purchase or use
  • To accurately quantify cannabinoids and other APIs in emulsions, extracts, and concentrates prior to dosing
  • To evaluate the homogeneity, shelf life/stability, and quality of new product formulations
  • To assure label accuracy and regulatory conformity prior to conducting compliance testing
