METRC Quality Control 3

Question 1

Under METRC compliance standards, which document must accompany every lab sample transfer to demonstrate chain of custody?

Accepted Answer

A METRC-generated manifest for the sample transfer

Answer

METRC generates a manifest for each transfer, including lab sample transfers, which serves as the official chain-of-custody document.

Question 2

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?

Accepted Answer

One test per production batch, with the result applied to all packages from that batch

Answer

Testing is generally applied at the production batch level, with a single passing result covering all packages derived from that batch.

Question 3

What is the purpose of the 'hold' status on a METRC package in the context of quality control?

Accepted Answer

It prevents the package from being transferred or sold until testing or regulatory issues are resolved

Answer

A hold status restricts movement and sale of a package, ensuring it cannot enter the market until quality or compliance issues are cleared.

Question 4

A laboratory must report test results to METRC within a state-defined timeframe. What is the consequence of missing this deadline?

Accepted Answer

The package remains on hold and the licensee may face compliance issues

Answer

Late test reporting keeps the package in a hold status, potentially delaying the supply chain and creating compliance exposure for the licensee.

Question 5

When reconciling QC records, an auditor notices a package with a 'Testing' status has no corresponding lab transfer in METRC. This most likely indicates:

Accepted Answer

A data entry error or the lab sample transfer was not properly recorded in METRC

Answer

A 'Testing' status without a matching METRC lab transfer record indicates a gap in traceability, suggesting the transfer was never properly entered.
