Cannabis Concentrate Manufacturing Safety and Compliance Checklist
This cannabis concentrate manufacturing safety and compliance checklist ensures compliance with state cannabis processor license requirements, GMP standards for concentrate production, residual solvent testing requirements, and state cannabis concentrate potency and contaminant action limits. Concentrate manufacturing involves complex multi-step refinement processes each requiring documentation and quality control.
- Industry: Cannabis
- Frequency: Per Production Run
- Estimated Time: 30-45 minutes
- Role: Lab Manager / Processing Supervisor
- Total Items: 30
- Compliance: State Cannabis Processor License Requirements, State Cannabis Concentrate Residual Solvent Testing Standards, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106 Flammable Liquids, METRC Processing Batch Recording Requirements, State Cannabis Concentrate Potency and Contaminant Action Limits
Input Material Compliance
Starting material verification.
- COA for input material (flower/trim) on file with passing test results?
- Input material batch IDs recorded in METRC processing batch?
- No failed or quarantined material used as input?
- Input material weighed and recorded before processing?
- Strain or blend information documented for product labeling?
Process Control
Production step documentation.
- Approved SOP followed for this concentrate type?
- Processing temperatures and pressures recorded at each critical step?
- Winterization temperatures and duration logged if applicable?
- Distillation temperatures (short-path or wiped-film) logged if applicable?
- Solvent purge process completed and purge time/temperature documented?
Residual Solvent Compliance
Solvent testing requirements.
- Residual solvent testing required and ordered for this product type?
- Residual solvent COA showing PASS for all analytes?
- Purge process validated to reliably achieve passing residual levels?
- No Class 1 prohibited solvents (benzene, toluene) used in production?
- Food-grade or pharmaceutical-grade ethanol used where required?
Yield and METRC Tracking
Production reconciliation.
- Finished concentrate output weighed and recorded?
- Yield percentage calculated and within expected range for process?
- METRC processing batch updated with input and output weights?
- Processing waste (spent biomass, filtration waste) logged and disposed of correctly?
- Finished concentrate transfer manifest created before any movement?
Quality and Release
Product quality verification.
- Visual quality inspection completed (color, consistency, clarity)?
- Potency COA received and reviewed before product released?
- All required test panels (potency, residuals, microbials, metals) PASS?
- Product label potency within state tolerance of COA result?
- Quality manager sign-off on batch record before release?
Production Records
Batch documentation.
- Complete batch production record filed with all process data?
- Equipment maintenance log entries current for all production equipment used?
- All COAs filed with batch record and accessible for audit?
- Records retained for state-required minimum period (typically 3-5 years)?
- Concentrate Production Notes
