Section R66-3-7 - Potency Testing

(1) A lot or batch of cannabis plant product, cannabis concentrate, or cannabis product shall have its cannabinoid profile determined and listed on a COA as total THC, total CBD, and the total concentration of any THC analog known to be present.

(2) A lot or batch of cannabis plant product, cannabis concentrate, or cannabis product fail quality assurance testing for cannabinoid content if:

(a) it is not analyzed for each of the analytes listed in Table 2;

(b) the determined amount of any analyte exceeds its action level given in Table 2;

(c) any tetrahydrocannabinol acetate (THC-OAc) is found in a cannabis concentrate with a relative peak area greater than 1% of the total cannabinoid peak area or in a cannabis product with a relative peak area greater than 0.5% of the total cannabinoid peak area as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector;

(d) any of the artificially derived cannabinoids listed in Table 3 are found to have a peak area greater than 1% of total cannabinoid peak area as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD); or

(e) greater than 10% of the total cannabinoid peak area is comprised of unknown cannabinoids after peaks smaller than 1% of the total peak area have been excluded as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD).
