Testing explainer

Zero-tolerance limits

Most analyte limits on a certificate are numeric: a result at or above that number fails. A smaller set of analytes carry a zero-tolerance limit instead, printed on the certificate as “Any amt”. Any detected amount at all fails that analyte, however small. A blank or a dash in place of that limit would read as “no limit”, the opposite of the truth: it is the strictest limit a state imposes, and this site prints it as “Any amount (zero tolerance)” wherever it appears rather than leaving it blank.

Where this appears

Every zero-tolerance row in the index appears on a California, New York, Federal hemp market certificate issued by ACT Laboratories or Anresco Laboratories or Biotrax Testing Laboratory Inc. or Certified Testing and Data or DRS Testing or Green Analytics NY, LLC or Infinite Chemical Analysis Labs or MCR Labs New York or Phyto-Farma Labs or SC Laboratories California LLC or Smithers CTS New York LLC or Trichome Analytical. See the laboratory pages for which certificates use which format.
