How To Read The Reports

Cannabis lab reports can be a bit over whelming, so we put together a guide on how to read COAs.

The first thing listed is the Certificate of Quality Assurance. This shows exactly what is and isn't in the product. The Certificate of Quality Assurance has product information such as the active and inactive ingredients, lot number, and the manufacturing date. Underneath that, is the analysis of bulk oil and the CBD content, terpenes and physical attributes of the hemp oil.

Next comes the third-party reports. These reports reference the end product — the product being used at home.

Here are a few things to understand in these reports:

Cannabinoid Content: This looks at the isomers of CBD and THC. Some labs report non-detectable or ND for THC content, while others use Limit of Quantitation or <LOQ, meaning the test product doesn't contain enough of the ingredient for sensitive lab equipment to measure. Whether it's indicated as ND or <LOQ, it means the product is THC-free.

Pesticides: Similar to THC measurement, there will be a reporting of ND or <LOQ if no pesticides are present. This pesticide testing covers 59 different pesticides.

Microbiology: This covers microbial contamination, particularly yeast, mold, salmonella and E. coli. This testing looks at current contamination and the ability for those microbes to grow in the future. These tests abide by USP regulations for limits on microbials.

Heavy metals: This includes arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury, which are all heavy metals that can be found in soil and be present on manufacturing equipment. This testing adheres to California's rules, which are the strictest in the country.
