Abstract: Even though some states in the U.S. have made cannabis legal, it’s still against federal law. This means that the rules and regulations for cannabis-related businesses are different from state to state. For instance, in some states, testing facilities for cannabis must get ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation as part of their licensing process, and they need to be inspected by a qualified auditor. On the other hand, in other states, many labs are choosing to get audited voluntarily to become accredited.
