COA lot and batch matching

A practical evidence map for keeping product identity, lot or batch identity, and the laboratory record connected.

What this means for your records

This is the Evidence Chain™ in its simplest form: Product → Lot or Batch → COA. A broken link should remain visible as an Evidence Gap™.

Evidence boundary

This page explains record linkage. It does not claim that a matching identifier proves the product satisfies every requirement.

Verification state: 0 of 1 statements shown on this page are independently verified; 1 remain pending. Pending statements remain visible with their uncertainty; rejected statements never render.

COA content requirements for consumable hemp products

The adopted DSHS rules set out the required contents of a certificate of analysis for consumable hemp products as a condition of sale in Texas. Section 300.301(d) names twelve fields, among them laboratory identification and contact information, sample and lot identification, analytical methods and instrumentation with limits of detection and quantitation, an expiration date, measurement of uncertainty analysis parameters, a QR code verifying the authenticity of testing at an accredited laboratory, and results reporting delta-9 THC, total delta-9 THC, and total THC per container.

[Pending verification] The required-field list was verified 2026-08-16 against two independent official publications — the DSHS adopted-rule text and the Texas Register adoption notice (TRD-202601066) — which agree that §300.301(d) names twelve fields. The earlier conflicting counts came from third-party summaries rather than the adopted text, and the count is therefore no longer withheld. Katherine Ulbricht ratification remains outstanding as a receipt; this record stays pending until it lands.

Primary source
25 TAC §300.301(d) (adopted rules, 25 TAC Chapter 300)Texas Register — adopted rules, 25 TAC Chapter 300 (TRD-202601066)
Effective status
In effect — March 31, 2026, adopted DSHS rules filed with the Secretary of State March 2, 2026 (TRD-202601066).
Enforcement
In force. No stay or injunction against the COA content requirements as such was identified in this review. The total delta-9 THC threshold is recorded separately below because its posture is different; §300.301(d) is the certificate-of-analysis field set and carries no threshold of its own.
