Wilmington, Delaware – July 7, 2022, CloudLIMS, a leading provider of laboratory informatics, today released a new, free open-access eBook on regulatory compliance for hemp testing labs in the United States. In a major regulatory reform, the 2018 Farm Bill reclassified hemp and equalized it with other agricultural commodities. The USDA released a Final Rule (FR) which includes new federal guidelines for hemp testing. All hemp testing labs need to comply with the new rules and register with the DEA by December 31, 2022, to avoid hefty penalties or license cancellation.

This comprehensive guide is intended to provide an in-depth understanding of the USDA's federal rules for hemp sampling, testing, result reporting, & remediation or disposal of hot hemp. Furthermore, it offers a practical solution for hemp testing labs to address operational challenges and meet compliance goals while digitizing operations to boost productivity.
