Cannabis Compliance Testing
Rectangle 3019 The legalization of California’s medical and adult-use cannabis market has led to the daunting task of implementing statewide regulations for the largest cannabis market in the world. The Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) is the lead regulatory authority responsible for licensing and overseeing commercial businesses involved in each step of the supply chain.
Testing regulations require all batches of finished products to be sampled and tested by an accredited third party laboratory to ensure safety and dosing accuracy.
As of December 31, 2018, all cannabis and cannabis products are required to be in compliance with Phase 3 testing regulations.

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 |
