Failed Testing, Remediation, and Retesting Guidance (Oregon)
Licensees have the option of remediating and retesting failed product batches.If a retest for pesticides, solvents, or microbiological contaminants fails, the product batch is not eligible for additional retesting and must be destroyed.
| Failed Analysis | Product Type | Action needed for retest | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pesticides | Flower, Extract/Concentrate | Instruct initial lab to send portion of sample tested to 2 other labs for retest, inform labs of retest Or, Have 2 other labs resample and retest new samples, inform labs of retest | |
| Solvents | Extract/Concentrate | Re-process using procedures to reduce solvent concentrations | Schedule resample and retest of remediated batch, inform lab of retest |
| Water Activity | Flower | Use flower to make extracts or concentrates | |
| Continue to dry or cure | Schedule resample and retest of remediated batch, inform lab of retest | ||
| Microbiological Contaminant | Flower | Use flower to make extracts or concentrates, must use sterilization method | |
| Further process in a manner that effectively sterilizes the batch | Schedule resample and retest of remediated batch, inform lab of retest | ||

R&D Test Analysis
- Moisture Content
- Mold
- Mycotoxins
- Pesticides (not available for flower)
- Potency
- Residual Solvents
- Terpenes
- Vitamin E Acetate
- Water Activity
Step 1 R&D Test Process and Checklist
Have the following information ready, we’ll need this for your appointment:
- Name
- Business name, if applicable
- Address
- Phone number
