LABORATORY TEST RESULTS REPORT
All laboratories providing compliance testing services to hemp producers must use this form to report all
test results to USDA. Gas Chromatography (GC), High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) or
Liquid Chromatography (LC) analysis with THCA conversion or other USDA approved testing method
must be utilized in order to test for total THC concentration. Test results shall be reported to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) in accordance with 7 CFR Part 990, USDA Domestic Hemp
Production Program. Laboratory Testing Guidelines are available at:

This form shall be submitted to the USDA concurrently when the certificate of analysis is returned to
producer and/or State/Tribal regulatory body. Laboratories may submit test results for multiple producers
using this form.
This form shall be submitted to the USDA using a digital format compatible with USDA’s information
sharing systems, whenever possible. All information submitted must be accurate, legible, and complete.
If submission through the USDA information sharing system is not possible, please submit form to:

Instructions on Field Format and Values

Producer ID or Control
Number

This field is the license or
authorization identifier of the
producer. It can be used to link
sample and test results to a specific
producer.
This field is the name of the
producer and can be used to link
the name of the producer to the
sample and/or test result.

Use the producer’s license or authorization number as assigned by the State, Indian
Tribe, or USDA. If that is not provided, use the control number or other identifier
that was assigned to the sample.

This field is the street address of
the producer.
This field is the city of the
producer.
This field is the state of the
producer.
This field is the name of the
laboratory issuing the test result.

Fill in the Building Number, Street Name, and Street Type as provided with the
sample.

Result Reported Date

Test Type

This field is the date when the

Result % THC

This field is the concentration of
THC determined by the laboratory

measurement of uncertainty of the
hemp test.

Pass or Fail

This field is to identify if the hemp
sample passes or fails a THC
compliance test based on the
definition of hemp under the law.

Use a consistent format (i.e. MMDDYYYY)

Report as one of these four options:
“Original sample”: This is a test of the original material taken for compliance
purposes.
“Retained sample”: This is a test of material retained or separated from the
original sample. A laboratory may retain a portion of the original material in case of
equipment malfunction or other error or for retesting in the event of a failed result
from the original sample.
“Test of re-sampled material”: This is a test of material taken from the same lot
as the original sample on a subsequent date.
“Remediation sample”: This is a sample from a growing location that has failed
initial compliance testing of intact flower material. This sample will either be
presented as blended biomass or as stalks, stems, and leaves with no floral material
present.
Report percent (%) of THC on a dry weight basis to the nearest hundredths, or 2
decimal places (Ex. 0.039).
Percentage of THC on a dry weight basis means the percentage of THC, by weight,
after excluding all moisture from the sample.
Report measurement of uncertainty as a percent (%) + or - to the nearest
hundredths, or 2 decimal places (Ex. 0.09)
The measurement of uncertainty is the parameter associated with the accuracy of a
result, which is the interval around the value of the measurement that characterizes
the dispersion of the values.
Report as “Pass” or “Fail.”
Pass equates to “delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.30
percent on a dry weight basis + or – the measurement of uncertainty.”
Fail equates to “concentration level of THC on a dry weight basis of higher than
0.30 percent + or – the measurement of uncertainty.”
