The Board may establish a program to ensure the integrity of all testing performed by a cannabis independent testing laboratory by subjecting each such laboratory to random laboratory assurance checks.\n2. If the Board establishes a program pursuant to subsection 1, each cannabis independent testing laboratory shall participate in the program.\n3. If the Board establishes a program pursuant to subsection 1, as part of the program, the Board shall:\n(a) Collect samples of cannabis or cannabis products from cannabis establishments that have already been tested by cannabis independent testing laboratories in amounts deemed sufficient by the Board;\n(b) Remove identifying characteristics from and randomize such samples; and\n(c) Provide each cannabis independent testing laboratory with a sample for analysis.\n4. A cannabis independent laboratory that receives a sample from the Board shall perform such quality assurance tests upon the sample as the Board may require. Such tests may include, without limitation:\n(a) Screening the sample for pesticides, heavy metals, chemical residues, herbicides, growth regulators and microbial analysis;\n(b) A potency analysis to test for and quantify the presence of the following cannabinoids:\n(1) THC;\n(2) Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid;\n(3) Cannabidiol;\n(4) Cannabidiolic acid; and\n(5) Cannabinol; and\n(c) Such other quality assurance tests that the Board may require.\n5. If the Board establishes a program pursuant to subsection 1, the Board shall adopt regulations necessary to carry out the program. Such regulations:\n(a) Must require each cannabis independent testing laboratory to perform a random laboratory assurance check at least once every 6 months but not more frequently than once every 3 months.\n(b) May modify the procedures and requirements set forth in this section if the Board determines that advances in science necessitate such a modification.\n6. As used in this section, “random laboratory assurance check” means the evaluation of the performance of a cannabis independent testing laboratory in conducting quality assurance tests upon a sample if required by the Board under the program established pursuant to subsection 1.","path":["TITLE 56 — REGULATION OF CANNABIS","CHAPTER 678B - LICENSING AND CONTROL OF CANNABIS","PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF CANNABIS","Requirements Concerning Operation of Cannabis Establishments"],"source_url":"https://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-678B.html#NRS678BSec540","current_through":"2025 session (NRS as revised 2026-08-25)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-03T05:51:46Z","sha256":"6a102b824ab599efd54961d154dc4fe7354edfde9e2c38028a7fed8e9630bed7","source_id":"us-nv","stale":true,"prev":"us-nv/nrs-678b.535","next":"us-nv/nrs-678b.545"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
