(a) cannabinoid profile.

(5) The cannabinoid profile for each sample must include:

(a) THCA;

(b) THC;

(c) Total THC;

(d) CBDA;

(6) The sample and related lot or test batch fail quality assurance testing for moisture analysis if the results exceed the following limits:

(a) moisture content no more than twelve percent.

(7) The sample and related lot or test batch fail quality assurance testing for foreign matter screening if the results exceed the following limits:

(a) five percent of stems 3mm or more in diameter; and

(b) two percent of seeds or other foreign matter.
