Testing Processes
We are committed to delivering the benefits of CBD to our customers, and hope that our products will help to improve their health and quality of life. To guarantee the integrity and effectiveness of our products, we ensure that our CBD surpasses standards for both quality and safety in one of the worldβs most strictly regulated markets.
Why do we test?
Our primary concern is the health and safety of our customers. All of our CBD products undergo a third-party testing process of at least 6 stages to ensure that they are safe to use and of the highest possible quality.
Naturecan's Testing Process
First Step
An Inspector from the Agricultural Department in Oregon tests the Hemp plant for CBD content, low THC levels and pesticides.
Second Step
IAH Oregon tests the hemp biomass or crude oil intake before purchasing for potency and pesticides, using an independent third-party testing lab.
Third Step
IAH tests the chosen crude oil after removal of THC to confirm removal, again using an independent lab.
Fourth Step
IAH tests the finished distillate oil for THC levels, to reconfirm full removal of THC using the Rotachrom Purification technology, again using an independent lab.
Fifth Step
Naturecan independently tests the distillate oil from IAH for contamination by pesticides, microbiologicals, and heavy metals, and for the potency of cannabinoids, including THC levels.
Sixth Step
In the USA, Naturecan independently tests the finished products for microbiologicals, heavy metals, and potency of cannabinoids, including THC levels.
Seventh Step
Naturecan independently tests each batch of finished goods produced from the oil for label efficacy and potency of CBD and other cannabinoids, including THC levels.

Transparency
We are committed to full transparency in our supply chain and testing schedule. This video explains the various stages of testing the hemp, oil, and finished products. All our products have a Certificate of Analysis (CoA), so you can be rest assured that your CBD products are what the label says they are. Quality guaranteed from seed to door.
What is a Certificate of Analysis (CoA)?
A Certificate of Analysis is a document which confirms that products have undergone specified testing to ensure they meet market standards. It is most commonly used for food, alcohol, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, and can be issued either by a certification body, or by the exporterβs own laboratories where there is a relationship of mutual trust. The analysis is carried out at the exporterβs factory or warehouse, or at the place where the product is loaded for shipment.
How to read a Certificate of Analysis
A Certificate of Analysis can be divided into three main sections: the header, the results and the footer.
Choosing a CBD product
When youβre choosing a CBD product, it is a good idea to read the productβs CoA and check that it meets safety and quality standards. While reading a CoA, look out for the following red flags:
- No lab certifications in the document
- Tested in-house (rather than third-party testing)
- Missing safety tests
- Unsafe levels of THC (i.e. >0.3%)
- Less CBD than claimed
- Missing cannabinoids (such as CBG, CBC and CBN)
- Compound quantities that do not match those on the product label
