Commercial Product
Table of what the State of California requires for
commercial testing of cannabis products according to California Code Of
Regulations, Section 5715, and the regulations that follow applying January 1,
2018 and July 1, 2018.
Note the date December 31, 2018 when the final testing
requirements go into effect.
Cannabinoid testing is the first item in the list referring
to identification and potency. The TLC methodology ( Thin Layer Chromatography
) refers to this requirement only. TLC analysis is currently not allowed under
current law for the primary testing of commercial products for sale. However,
it does not cover private testing by TLC by home growers, end users, and others
wanting to test their own products.
Also, TLC can be used as a preliminary guide by commercial
growers and manufacturers before sending their products off to be tested in a
state-licensed testing facility.
