15.02.520 Testing of Cannabis and Products

(a) Every processor of cannabis shall contract with an independent laboratory, approved by the CCO, to test the cannabis and cannabis products it produces.

(b) The CCO may assign an approved testing laboratory which the processor must use.

(c) Processors shall make laboratory test reports available to licensed distributors and licensed retailers for all cannabis products they produce.

(d) License retail stores shall maintain accurate documentation of laboratory test reports for each product offered for sale. Such documentation shall be entered into the Tribe's monitoring system and made publicly available by the retailer.

(e) Onsite laboratory testing is permissible subject to regulation; however, such testing shall not be certified by the CCO and does not exempt the licensee from the requirements of quality assurance testing by an independent testing laboratory.

(f) The CCO shall have the authority to require any licensee to submit cannabis or cannabis products to one or more independent laboratories for testing. The CCO may issue regulations related to all aspects of third-party testing and quality assurance including, but not limited to:

(1) Minimum testing and sampling requirements;

(2) Testing and sampling methodologies;

(3) Testing reporting;

(4) Retesting; and

(5) Product quarantine, hold, recall and remediation.

(g) The CCO may waive any or all testing requirements until it determines that licensees may legally transfer cannabis or cannabis products to independent laboratories capable of performing such testing.
