(1) A provisional testing laboratory license shall be valid for 12 months. (2) To renew a provisional license, a completed license renewal form shall be received by the Department from the licensee no later than 30 calendar days before the expiration of the license. Failure to receive a notice for license renewal does not relieve a licensee of the obligation to renew all licenses as required.

A change in ownership occurs when a new person meets the definition of an owner. A change in ownership does not occur when one or more owners leave the business by transferring their ownership interest to the other existing owner(s). In cases where one or more owners leave the business by transferring their ownership interest to the other existing owner(s), the owner or owners that are transferring their interest shall provide a signed statement to the Department confirming that they have transferred their interest.

Identification cards issued by the Department are the property of the Department and shall be returned to the Department upon the termination of the holder’s employment with the laboratory, upon suspension, or revocation, or upon demand of the Department. (h) Term of approval. Department approval of a laboratory for purposes of this rule shall be for a term of one year, and shall expire after that year, or upon closure of the laboratory. The laboratory shall apply for renewal of approval annually no later than 30 days prior to expiration. (i) Termination. The Department may deny, withdraw, or suspend approval of a laboratory in accordance with this rule, upon determination by the Department that the laboratory has violated a provision of this rule, upon failure of a proficiency test, upon refusal of the laboratory to provide requested access to premises or materials, or upon failure of a laboratory to comply with any standard, procedure, or protocol developed, submitted, or maintained pursuant to this rule. 310:681-8-2.

(c) Audit and random testing. The Department may require a grower or processor to submit samples identified by the Department to a laboratory of the grower’s or processor’s choosing to be tested in order to determine whether the licensee is in compliance with these rules, and may require additional testing that is not required by these rules. 310:681-8-3. Standards for Testing. (a) Cannabinoids. (1) The laboratory shall analyze a sample of marijuana or marijuanaderived product to determine whether the cannabinoid profile of the sample conforms to the labeled content of each cannabinoid such as 42 June 19, 2018 Working DRAFT version 1.5 JE VERSION OAC 310:681 THC; THCA; CBD; CBDA. (2) The laboratory shall report the result of the cannabinoid testing on the COA both as a percentage and in milligrams per gram (mg/g) dry-weight using the equation below and indicate “pass” or “fail” on the COA: Dry-weight % cannabinoid = wet-weight % cannabinoid / (1 − % moisture / 100) (3) If the labeled content of any one cannabinoid is expressed as a total concentration of the cannabinoid, the laboratory shall calculate the total cannabinoid concentration as follows: Total cannabinoid concentration (mg/g) = (cannabinoid acid form concentration (mg/g) x 0.877) + cannabinoid concentration (mg/g) (4) A sample shall be deemed to have passed the cannabinoid testing if the concentration of any one cannabinoid does not exceed the labeled content of the cannabinoid, plus or minus 10%. (5) If the sample fails cannabinoid testing, the batch from which the sample was collected fails cannabinoid testing and shall not be released for retail sale. (b) Water activity and moisture content. (1) The laboratory shall analyze a sample of usable marijuana to determine the level of water activity and the percentage of moisture content. (2) A marijuana sample shall be deemed to have passed water activity testing if the water activity does not exceed 0.65 Aw. The laboratory shall report the result of the water activity test on the COA and indicate “pass” or “fail” on the COA. (3) A marijuana sample shall be deemed to have passed moisture content testing if the moisture content does not exceed 15.0%. The laboratory shall report the result of the moisture content test in percentage on the COA and indicate “pass” or “fail” on the COA. (4) If a sample fails water activity and/or moisture content testing, the batch from which the sample was collected may be remediated and re-tested or used to make a cannabinoid concentrate or extract. (c) Residual pesticides. (1) The laboratory shall analyze a sample of marijuana or marijuanaderived product to determine whether residual pesticides are present. (2) The laboratory shall report the result of the residual pesticides testing in unit micrograms per gram (μg/g) on the COA and indicate “pass” or “fail” on the COA.

(5) Temporary residual pesticide testing requirements. (A) Notwithstanding these rules, if the Department finds there is insufficient laboratory capacity for the testing of residual pesticides, the Department may permit randomly chosen samples from batches of usable marijuana to be tested for residual pesticides by a licensed laboratory rather than requiring every batch of usable marijuana from a harvest lot to be tested for residual pesticides. (B) The Department must ensure samples from at least one batch of every harvest lot are tested for residual pesticides.

(9) The supervisory or management laboratory employee shall review, approve, sign, and date the sampling SOP and each revision thereto; and (10) The laboratory shall retain a copy of the sampling SOP on the laboratory premises and ensure that the sampling SOP is accessible to the sampler during sampling. (c) Sampling and sample size. (1) Usable marijuana. (A) Usable marijuana may only be sampled after it is cured. (B) A grower must separate each harvest lot into no larger than 50 pound batches. (C) A grower may combine batches for purposes of having a batch sampled for testing if each batch is intended for use by a processor to make a cannabinoid concentrate or extract and each harvest lot was: 49 June 19, 2018 Working DRAFT version 1.5 JE VERSION OAC 310:681 (i) Cultivated utilizing the same growing practices and grown in close proximity on the licensed or registered premises; (ii) Harvested at the same time; and (iii) If cured prior to sampling, cured under uniform conditions. (B) The sampler shall obtain both a primary sample and a field duplicate sample from each harvest batch. The field duplicate sample shall be collected contemporaneous to, and in the same manner as, the primary sample. (D) The primary sample and field duplicate sample must each weigh a minimum of 0.5% of the total harvest batch weight. A sampler may collect greater than 0.5% of a harvest batch per primary sample and field duplicate sample if necessary to perform the required testing or to ensure that the samples obtained are representative. (E) Multiple sample increments (i.e., portions of a batch that, together with other increments, constitute the sample) shall be obtained from random and varying locations (both vertically and horizontally) within an unpacked harvest batch depending on the batch size, as per the table below.
