What is a Certificate of Analysis (COA)?

What is a Certificate of Analysis (COA)?

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is an official lab report that verifies the contents, potency, and safety of general raw materials or cannabis products. It is issued by a licensed third-party laboratory after testing and typically includes:

  • Potency Results – THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids

  • Terpene Profile – flavor and aroma compounds

  • Contaminant Screening – pesticides, heavy metals, mold, microbials

  • Residual Solvents (for extracts and concentrates)

  • Lot / Batch Identification – links the lab results to specific production batches

Purpose:

  • Ensures compliance with state regulatory bodies (e.g., METRC integration in CO, MO, etc.)

  • Provides transparency and safety assurance to consumers and buyers

  • Serves as a chain of custody document, proving that products meet legal and quality standards

Where is the COA stored in Figgro?

In the Figgro ERP (Seed-to-Sale) system, COAs are treated as compliance and quality documents tied to inventory and product records. Typically, COAs are:

  1. Uploaded into the Quality & Compliance Module

    • Stored against specific lots, batches, or production runs.

    • Accessible when creating manifests or sales orders.

 

  1. Linked at the Product / Package Level

    • Each finished good, bulk ingredient, or raw material has an associated COA.

    • If a product is transferred, the COA automatically follows the manifest.

  2. Attached to Sales & Distribution Documents

    • Buyers ( distributors, manufacturers) can download/view COAs directly from Figgro.

    • Helps streamline audits and customer trust.

  3. Archived in the Document Repository

    • COAs remain in secure cloud storage for audit trails, with version history and expiration dates and can be found under the Chain of Custody Module---> Manage Lab Reports sub module.

    • Ensures alignment with GMP/HACCP compliance by maintaining chain-of-custody traceability.

In short: A COA in Figgro lives in the Inventory / Compliance layer, directly tied to batches and packages. This ensures it is always available for regulators, internal QA teams, and buyers during manifests, transfers, or audits.
