HAR §11-37-23. Required testing for contamination and contaminant limits

(a) A representative sample of every batch of packaged manufactured hemp product shall be tested for contamination by a laboratory meeting the requirements of section 11-37-20, including the use of appropriate methods to quantify the presence of all contaminants listed in subsection (b). (b) A sample and the associated batch of manufactured hemp product is considered adulterated if laboratory results for the testing required in subsection (a) exceed the specified concentration limit for any of the following contaminants: (1) Heavy metals listed in Table 1; Table 1 | Heavy metal | Limit (parts per million) | | --- | --- | | Arsenic | 10.0 ppm | | Cadmium | 4.0 ppm | | Lead | 6.0 ppm | | Mercury | 2.0 ppm | (2) Pesticides listed in Table 2, each with a limit of 1.0 parts per million (ppm); Table 2 | | Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number | | --- | --- | | Pesticide | (CAS No.) | | Abamectin | 71751-41-2 | 37-33 3622_ §11-37-23 | Acephate | 30560-19-1 | | --- | --- | | Acequinocyl | 57960-19-7 | | Acetamiprid | 135410-20-7 | | Aldicarb | 116-06-3 | | Azoxystrobin | 131860-33-8 | | Bifenazate | 149877-41-8 | | Bifenthrin | 82657-04-3 | | Boscalid | 188425-85-6 | | Carbaryl | 63-25-2 | | Carbofuran | 1563-66-2 | | Chlorantraniliprole | 500008-45-7 | | Chlorfenapyr | 122453-73-0 | | Chlorpyrifos | 2921-88-2 | | Clofentezine | 74115-24-5 | | Cyfluthrin | 68359-37-5 | | Cypermethrin | 52315-07-8 | | DDVP (Dichlorvos) | 62-73-7 | | Diazinon | 333-41-5 | | Dimethoate | 60-51-5 | | Ethoprophos | 13194-48-4 | | Etofenprox | 80844-07-1 | | Etoxazole | 153233-91-1 | | Fenpyroximate | 134098-61-6 | | Fipronil | 120068-37-3 | | Flonicamid | 158062-67-0 | | Fludioxonil | 131341-86-1 | | Hexythiazox | 78587-05-0 | | Imazalil | 35554-44-0 | | Imidacloprid | 138261-41-3 | | Kresoxim-methyl | 143390-89-0 | | Malathion | 121-75-5 | | Metalaxyl | 57837-19-1 | | Methiocarb | 2032-65-7 | | Methomyl | 16752-77-5 | | Methyl parathion | 298-00-0 | | MGK-264 | 113-48-4 | | Myclobutanil | 88671-89-0 | | Naled | 300-76-5 | | Oxamyl | 23135-22-0 | | Paclobutrazol | 76738-62-0 | | Permethrins (total of cis- and trans-permethrin isomers)^{1} | 52645-53-1 | 37-34 3622 §11-37-23 | Phosmet | 732-11-6 | | --- | --- | | Piperonyl butoxide | 51-03-6 | | Prallethrin | 23031-36-9 | | Propiconazole | 60207-90-1 | | Propoxur | 114-26-1 | | Pyrethrins (total of pyrethrin 1, cinerin 1, and jasmolin 1)^{2} | 8003-34-7 | | Pyridaben | 96489-71-3 | | Spinosad | 168316-95-8 | | Spiromesifen | 283594-90-1 | | Spirotetramat | 203313-25-1 | | Tebuconazole | 80443-41-0 | | Thiacloprid | 111988-49-9 | | Thiamethoxam | 153719-23-4 | | Trifloxystrobin | 141517-21-7 | Notes to Table 2: 1.
