What Is NTEP and What Does It Mean For Dispensaries?

Edibles & Dosing: How QC Can Ensure the Correct Potency of Botanical Products
Quality control and consistency isn’t really something that’s typically been a concern with botanical products of the past. However, with botanicals and CBD products making their way to the mainstream through both medicinal and recreational channels, manufacturers are now more concerned than ever with maintaining standards and meeting local regulations to make sure that the products they produce are acceptable and traceable. Balances used for weighing out samples are much more important in this process to provide monitoring from seed to sale.
Frequently asked questions
There isn’t one type of scale that can be classified as a botanical scale. Many different types of scales can be used within the industry, depending on exactly what product is being weighed (such as flower), the segment of the industry and even state and local laws. For questions about what type of scale you need, contact us.
Because industry requirements vary by state, there isn’t necessarily a single answer to this. Most U.S. states require a minimum of a Class II scale, meaning a scale that displays results from 1mg to 50mg (0.05g) and has 10,000 – 100,000 divisions, or better.
The types of scales you’ll need depend on which segment of the industry your business will be operating within.
