Under METRC compliance standards, which document must accompany every lab sample transfer to demonstrate chain of custody?
Answer: A METRC-generated manifest for the sample transfer
METRC generates a manifest for each transfer, including lab sample transfers, which serves as the official chain-of-custody document.
A licensed processor is required to test each production batch before sale. If a batch is split into multiple packages, how many tests are typically required?
Answer: One test per production batch, with the result applied to all packages from that batch
Testing is generally applied at the production batch level, with a single passing result covering all packages derived from that batch.
What is the purpose of the 'hold' status on a METRC package in the context of quality control?
Answer: It prevents the package from being transferred or sold until testing or regulatory issues are resolved
A hold status restricts movement and sale of a package, ensuring it cannot enter the market until quality or compliance issues are cleared.
A laboratory must report test results to METRC within a state-defined timeframe. What is the consequence of missing this deadline?
Answer: The package remains on hold and the licensee may face compliance issues
Late test reporting keeps the package in a hold status, potentially delaying the supply chain and creating compliance exposure for the licensee.
When reconciling QC records, an auditor notices a package with a 'Testing' status has no corresponding lab transfer in METRC. This most likely indicates:
Answer: A data entry error or the lab sample transfer was not properly recorded in METRC
A 'Testing' status without a matching METRC lab transfer record indicates a gap in traceability, suggesting the transfer was never properly entered.
Which of the following best describes a METRC 'production batch' in the context of quality control for manufactured products?
Answer: A group of like products made from the same input materials in a single production run, assigned a unique batch ID
A production batch groups products made from the same inputs in one run, and the batch ID is used to link all resulting packages to a single QC test result.
If a cannabis product tests above the legal THC limit for a specific product category, and remediation is not permitted by state law, what must the licensee do in METRC?
Answer: Record a destruction event in METRC with the required documentation
When remediation is not an option, the licensee must document and execute a destruction event in METRC, removing the non-compliant product from the regulated supply chain.
