This includes, but is not limited to, changes in raw material sources or suppliers, alterations in equipment type, scale, or location, modifications in process parameters, methods, or procedures, implementation of new technologies or techniques, changes in the facility or environment where the process occurs, or alterations in the sequence, duration, or conditions of process steps.

(3)"Process validated" means a licensed medical marijuana business operating in accordance with this Subchapter.

(4)"Process validation" means the documented data and objective evidence that a particular process, when operated according to standard operating procedures, will consistently produce medical marijuana and medical marijuana products that meet predetermined quality attributes and specifications and are adequate for an intended use.

(5)"Process Validation Report" means a document that provides a detailed account of the approach, intentions, and activities to be conducted during a validation activity and the results and findings from a validation activity.

(6)"Process validation self-assessment" means a systematic evaluation tool provided by the Authority, designed to allow medical marijuana businesses to assess and quantify their adherence to the requirements in this Subchapter.

(7)"Process verification" means the continual and documented monitoring, evaluation, and/or assessment of whether or not a particular process complies with these Rules and a medical marijuana licensee's standard operating procedures.

(8)"Standard operating procedures" or "SOPs" means written procedures produced by a medical marijuana licensee that provides detailed instructions on how to perform activities to ensure consistency, quality, and safety of medical marijuana and medical marijuana products and demonstrates compliance with Oklahoma law and these Rules.
