COA
What is a Certificate of Analysis (COA)?
A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is a document issued by an accredited third-party laboratory that provides detailed information about the composition and quality of a product. In the context of hemp and cannabis products, a COA typically includes the following key details:
​
-
Cannabinoid Profile: Lists the concentrations of various cannabinoids, including THC-A, Delta-9 THC, CBD, and others.
-
Terpene Profile: Identifies the presence and concentrations of different terpenes, which contribute to the aroma and effects of the product.
-
Contaminant Analysis: Checks for the presence of harmful substances such as pesticides, heavy metals, mold, and bacteria.
-
Potency: Confirms the strength and purity of the product.
Why is a COA Important?
​
-
Transparency and Trust: A COA provides consumers with transparent and verified information about what they are consuming. It builds trust between the customer and the company by proving that the product meets advertised specifications.
-
Safety Assurance: By ensuring that products are free from harmful contaminants, COAs protect consumers' health and safety.
-
Compliance: COAs verify that products comply with legal standards, including the federal requirement that hemp products contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC. This helps prevent legal issues for both the company and the consumer.
-
Informed Decisions: With detailed information about the cannabinoid and terpene profiles, consumers can make informed choices based on their preferences and needs.
