(a) A quality control test result, research and development test result, or test results from testing for any purpose other than compliance testing must be tracked and entered into CTS.

(2) A registrant or a licensee may not request that a laboratory conduct pesticide testing on marijuana or usable marijuana for the purpose of quality control, research and development or any purpose other than compliance testing.

(4) A laboratory result from a quality control or research and development test cannot be used as a compliance test result and a marijuana item or an industrial hemp-derived vapor item that has only undergone a quality control or research and development test may not be transferred or sold, unless the marijuana item is not required to have a compliance test before being transferred or sold.

(5) The certificate of analysis must clearly indicate that the testing performed was for quality control or research and development testing and is not considered a compliance test.

(6) Registrants and licensees must maintain and retain all quality control and research and development test results for at least two years and provide copies of such results upon request to the Authority or the Commission.
