Sampling Requirements
Prior to testing, the designated laboratory must collect a representative sample from each batch of product. Depending on the product type and batch size, a specified number of increments or “subsamples” must be taken from different areas of the batch to obtain a representative sample ready to be tested. These increment amounts can be found in the charts below.
Harvest Batch Size
The representative sample must weigh a minimum of 0.35% of the total harvest batch weight.
The harvest batch must weight less than 50 pounds.
| Batch Size (lbs) | Increments |
|---|---|
| ≤ 10 | 8 |
| 10.1-20 | 16 |
| 20.1-30 | 23 |
| 30.1-40 | 29 |
| 40.1-50 | 34 |
Manufactured Products Batch Size
The product batch or pre-roll batch must contain no more than 150,000 units.
The number of increments listed are minimum amounts. Each sample increment consists of 1 packaged unit.
| Batch Size (units) | Increments (min) | Batch Size (units) | Increments (min) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ≤ 50 | 2 | 1,201 – 3,200 | 13 |
| 51 – 150 | 3 | 3,201 – 10,000 | 20 |
| 151 – 500 | 5 | 10,001 – 35,000 | 32 |
| 501 – 1200 | 8 | 35,001 – 150,000 | 50 |
