Build the culture record behind your regulatory reports

Metrc records regulated cannabis activity for participating jurisdictions, including plant batches, growth stages and destruction. Immature-plant classifications, tagging rules and reporting obligations vary by jurisdiction. Use your regulator's rules when deciding how your lab's plants must be recorded.

Washington's Liquor and Cannabis Board publishes CSV specifications for CCRS reporting, covering categories such as strains, areas, plants, inventory and adjustments. The records and files your business must submit depend on its licensed activity. Follow the LCB's current templates and submission guidance.

Health Canada requires applicable federal cannabis licence holders to submit monthly reports by the 15th of the following month. Reporting includes opening and closing inventory, additions and reductions, and applicable sales information. The fields you complete depend on your licence and activities.

The Netherlands' closed-chain cannabis experiment uses Track & Trace to follow material through its regulated supply chain. Designated participants record production and movements under the experiment's requirements. This scheme applies to its participants, rather than to every Dutch tissue culture lab.

The Office of Medicinal Cannabis, also known as BMC, handles cannabis-related Opium Act exemptions and has a defined role in cannabis imports and exports. Your authorised activities and shipments determine which permissions and records are required. Follow the official exemption and trade procedures for your operation.

Plant passports apply to specified plants and plant products moving within the EU. Exports outside the EU may need phytosanitary certification under the destination's requirements. Dutch operators should follow NVWA and their inspection service's guidance on registration, inspection, traceability and the appropriate documents.

USDA APHIS uses PCIT to manage phytosanitary certificate applications, issuance and tracking. Exporters provide consignment information and follow the destination's plant-health requirements. A lab's culture records can inform preparation, while inspection and certification follow the official process.

SAHPRA's cultivation guidance describes batch documentation and records of cultivation, production, stock and movements for medicinal and research cannabis activities. Your licence conditions determine the evidence and reporting your operation must maintain. Culture history is one part of that wider documentation.

South Africa's eCertification service provides an online route for phytosanitary applications and status tracking. Exporters submit the required information for review by the plant-health authority. Keep the consignment details and supporting records consistent with the application.

Australia's Office of Drug Control requires relevant medicinal cannabis permit holders to report cultivation and production or manufacturing activities through its reporting template. Reports are submitted quarterly with monthly breakdowns and cumulative calendar-year totals. Use the current template and guidance for each permitted site.
