Introduction

Welcome to the Patient Focused Certification (PFC) Program!

Americans for Safe Access Foundation (ASA) has created the Patient Focused Certification (PFC) Program toaddress issues of quality control and product safety in the cannabis industry to ensure patients (consumers) andtheir healthcare providers can rely on high-quality medical cannabis products and services. ASA has been advo-cating for safe and legal access to cannabis for therapeutic use and research on behalf patients for over adecade. Founded in 2002, ASA developed a vision for safe access that includes a legal and regulatory frame-work that has shaped the medical cannabis industry we see today.

The PFC Program has established guidelines that provide a system of processes, procedures, and documentationto ensure that Cannabis products (hemp, medical cannabis, and cannabis-derived products intended for humanconsumption) have the strength, composition, purity, and identity they claim to constitute or possess. PFC helpscompanies that are cultivating, manufacturing, and distributing these products achieve a commitment to quali-ty and product safety. PFC represents the consensus of the world’s leading experts on cannabis, hemp andbotanical product regulations.

The PFC program addresses quality control and product safety through:

1. Developing and Adopting Industry Standards

2. Industry Training

3. Certification Program

To date, we have:

��• Worked with American Herbal Pharmacopoeia (AHP) to release a Cannabis Monograph, which nowserves as a guide for identifying the quality, purity, and potency of the cannabis plant internationally;

�• Collaborated with the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) to create the AHPA CannabisCommittee which has developed industry standards in the form of Recommendations for Regulators forDistribution, Cultivation, Analytics, and Manufacturing, Packaging and Labeling;

�• Worked with regulators to get AHP and AHPA cannabis standards adopted in over a dozen states and;

�• Partnered with American Chemical Society (ACS) divisions of Small Chemical Business(SCHB), Agricultureand Food (AGFD), and Chemical Health & Safety(CH&S) to create a Cannabis Chemistry committee toprovide education and training that addresses the needs of laboratories, chemists, and service/equipmentproviders

Our experienced staff have trained thousands in the medical cannabis industry over the last decade. The PFCtraining program prepares employees to understand state and local regulations and to meet required safetyand operational protocols, while teaching them the basics of cannabis as medicine and common therapeuticuses of cannabis. PFC training is currently licensed by the Department of Public Health in the District ofColumbia as a mandatory training for all staff working in the DC medical cannabis program.

PFC offers third-party certification and support services to companies cultivating, manufacturing, analyzing ordistributing medical cannabis products and is the nation’s only certification program based upon the AHPA andAHP standards. All PFC companies are required to adhere to these rigid quality standards. Certification includescompliance inspections, ongoing monitoring, regulatory updates, staff training and an independent complaintprocess for consumers.

PFC certified laboratories have each demonstrated that their equipment and instruments are calibrated andmaintained properly. Laboratories must also show that they have implemented operating protocols that arefollowed in accordance with the AHP Monograph and AHPA guidelines, establishing the first standardizedtesting of medical cannabis and medical cannabis products. Through standardized testing, patients and theirmedical practitioners can now have confidence that the products utilized not only comply with PFC’s highquality and safety standards, but are also properly labeled and standardized to ensure consistency of quality

and effectiveness.

PFC certified companies are awarded the distinctive PFC mark to be displayed on promotional materials, prod-uct labeling and packaging to help distinguish products for consumers. PFC is similar to other nationally recog-nized certification programs including United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), Good Housekeeping, NSF, andInternational Organization for Standardization (ISO). PFC certification is currently offered as a voluntary certifi-cation program in all medical cannabis states for cultivators, manufacturers, dispensaries, and laboratories.

II. PFC Benefits and Services

BENEFITS

Government Relations: PFC works at the local and state level to increase awareness of the AHPA standards andthe AHP Cannabis Monograph with relevant agencies. PFC and AHPA work directly with legislators, regulatorsand industry trade groups to encourage the adoption of AHPA’s Recommenda-tions to Regulators and stan-dards outlined in the AHP Cannabis Monograph. As such, regulators in the states of Alaska, Florida, New York,Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Hawaii, and Colorado have adopt-ed portions of the AHPA’s Recommenda-tions and/or the AHP Cannabis Monograph.

As the regulatory framework for medical cannabis businesses continues to develop throughout the US, demon-strating adherence to national best-practice standards can help businesses avoid being subjected to the devel-opment of onerous state and local regulations that may challenge the ability of small businesses to be

AmericansForSafeAccess.org 3

successful. Throughout history, big business, with the support of government, has used unnecessarily narrow orstringent regulations to monopolize marketplaces. Certifying your business with PFC shows regulators and law-makers that your business has high standards of operation in accordance with other botanical products, dis-couraging the development of overly restrictive regulations.

Both ASA and AHPA are dedicated to the adoption of mandatory standards for the medical cannabis industrynationally. Your participation in the PFC Program helps to ensure that our outreach to your specific regulatorsgives your company an advantage.

Be prepared for regulatory inspections: In today’s regulated marketplace, failure to meet regulatory com-pliance can result in the denial of licensure for an applicant. Or, in the case of an established company canresult in costly fines, the recall and/or confiscation of products, and suspension or termination of your compa-ny’s license. As a participant in the PFC program, your company can rest assured that PFC’s inspection auditorswill identify any and all compliance issues that could jeopardize your company’s ability to maintain compliancewith local and state regulations. As localities and state regulators adjust and update regulations, PFC staff willensure that your company is aware of all upcoming regulatory changes.

Reduce company liability: Prior to the adoption of product safety guidelines in the herbal, botanical, andnutraceutical industries product liability lawsuits continually challenged the stability, growth, and future ofthese companies. As public concern in the US mounted over the increasing number of product liability lawsuitslarger agencies such as the FDA entered into the conversation about regulations and pressures rose to restrictherbal, botanical, and nutraceutical products from public availability. However, through the voluntary adop-tion of rigorous product safety guidelines, the herbal, botanical and nutraceutical industry was able to ease theconcerns of both the public and regulatory agencies allowing the industry to stabilize and avoid overly onerousFDA regulations.

Today, the medical cannabis and adult use industry find themselves in a very similar situation. As medicalcannabis and adult use laws have been implemented throughout the US, product safety has been an after-thought in many of these laws and rule making processes. By working with PFC to adopt nationally recognizedproduct safety standards, you directly reduce your company’s service and product liability. Through proper lotand batch number tracking, health and hygiene protocols, standardized testing, proper labeling, as well asadverse event reporting and recall strategies cannabis businesses who wear the PFC seal of approval raise thebar of product safety to that of the herbal, botanical, and nutraceutical industry in the US.

PFC certification helps your company identify, develop and address product safety protocols before a productsafety liability issue can arise. Engaging in the PFC program costs the average company less than 1% of theirannual revenue whereas product liability lawsuits often cost companies hundreds of thousands of dollars. LetPFC help your company develop a solid foundation of product safety and avoid costly product liability lawsuitsthat often irreparably damage businesses or close them all together.

Instill confidence in consumers and health care providers: The PFC seal displayed by cannabis businessesand on cannabis/hemp products provides medical practitioners, patients, and regulators with peace of mindthat your company is adhering to regulatory guidelines. The seal also shows that your company is committed tothe purity and identity of products being sold, has implemented lot and batch number tracking protocolsincluding an operations product recall plan, and has implemented standardized methods for the cultivation,manufacturing, distribution, and lab testing of those products.

Additionally our outreach programs educate patients, their caregivers, and medical professionals to look forPFC certified products so that they can choose their medicine with confidence, knowing that it was produced ina manner that provides consistent results and protects consumer safety. PFC’s advertising and marketing promi-nently features our certified companies and includes both traditional industry publications and unique chan-nels, such as Complementary and Alternative Medicine outlets.

Have confidence in company compliance: As medical cannabis, adult use, and hemp businesses haveemerged in the legal marketplace , state and local lawmakers have created a patchwork of laws and regula-tions. Almost all companies entering into the PFC program will find that some form of corrective action is nec-essary to achieve and maintain certification. Let PFC help your company achieve excellence in compliance, Best

Business Practices, quality of care, and product safety.

Due to the ever-changing and expanding nature of medical cannabis regulations and medical cannabis industryinnovations, PFC recognizes the need to continually review and adopt new standards and guidelines thatreflect regulatory changes. For this reason the PFC Program has been developed as a continually evolving pro-gram overseen by a Peer Review Board which along with AHPA and AHP act to oversee the ongoing update ofPFC program standards. Depending on the extent of standard updates approved by the PFC Peer Review Board,a PFC auditor may be assigned to the affected certified companies in order to verify that all necessary compli-ance updates have taken place. Additional staff training may also be required. The addition of programrequirements, determination of corrective actions, and need for additional trainings, are all determined by thePFC Peer Review Board.

Complaint hotline, investigation and resolution: PFC operates an independent complaint hotline that pro-vides patients, consumers, and caregivers the means to report a concern, complaint, or adverse event relatingto a service or product. If a verified third-party complaint is recorded and it is determined to require an investi-gation or a large number of complaints are lodged against a specific certified service or product, a review auditmay be necessary. PFC will evaluate and respond to all third-party complaints verifying the legitimacy andseverity of the complaint, and when necessary, require immediate corrective action. Certified companies arerequired to respond to complaint inquiries within five (5) business days of notification by an assigned PFC audi-tor or staff person.

When filing a complaint, a Complaint Investigation Request provided by PFC and available online, must becompleted and signed by the complaining party. Complaints will be sent directly to the Program Director, whowill track all complaints and investigations. PFC will acknowledge receipt of the complaint, promptly investigateand validate the complaint, and take appropriate actions. PFC shall ensure the proper corrective actions havebeen implemented and notify the complainant of such actions. The certified company will be advised of thecomplaint at the appropriate time during the investigation. PFC shall determine, together with the certifiedcompany and complainant (and regulators where necessary), if the complaint and resolution should be madepublic.

When a complaint is made by a company, whether PFC certified or not, the complainant agrees to bear thecost of an investigation if the complaint is not verified. If the complaint is substantiated, the certified companyshall be responsible for all costs of the investigation. Regulatory authorities, individual consumers, and licensedhealth care providers are exempt from bearing the costs of any investigation costs. PFC shall not identify thecomplainant unless required to do so by law. If a complainant does not sign a Complaint Investigation Request,PFC will consider it an informal complaint and will investigate as needed but has no obligation to investigate orrespond.

All PFC Advisory Services arebilled at a rate of $150 per hour plus travel expenses.

Pre-licensing Certification: Companies interested in the PFC program but not yet licensed can engage in thePFC program and begin the audit process prior to license approval by providing PFC with a 50% deposit. In thiscase, the company must be able to show verification that all staff, as identified on the application, have success-fully completed the PFC Core Cannabis Training and that the company has successfully completed a document

AmericansForSafeAccess.org 5

audit of all proposed SOP’s and Employee Manuals by an assigned PFC auditor. As with other document auditsconducted for PFC, the assigned PFC auditor will create a detailed audit report for the company outlining anycorrective actions necessary for the SOP’s to meet the standards of the PFC program as well as local and stateregulatory requirements. All corrective actions must be successfully implemented prior to receiving PFCapproval from the assigned auditor. PFC will then provide the company with a letter of engagement verifyingthat the provided documents are of adequate content to show that the company has implementable proce-dures ensuring compliance with local and state laws, and applicable PFC standards. Upon approval of statelicensure, your company is encouraged to complete the PFC required trainings. All companies engaged in pre-licensing certification are required to complete the certification process within 90 days of opening the companyfor operation.

Industry Certification: Medical cannabis, adult use cannabis and hemp product companies operating withinthe legal parameters of local and state regulations are encouraged to apply for the PFC certification . OncePFC has received the required 50% deposit, PFC staff will assign an independent auditor to your company andschedule the document and physical audits. PFC staff will also request a full employee list from your companyand assist your company in enrolling in the required PFC training courses. Upon the successful completion ofthe pre-certification audit process, subsequent corrective actions, and required staff trainings PFC staff willissue your company an official certification packet, including directions for the proper branding and use ofthe PFC seal.

Industry Training: PFC’s required staff training program is designed to meet the requirements of statemandated training programs, provide your staff with continuing educational opportunities, and can helpyour company reduce the cost of developing, implementing and operating in-house medical cannabis train-ing programs.

III. Developing and Adopting Industry Standards: AHPA and AHP

Seed to consumption national quality standards now exist for the medical cannabis industry thanks to the 2011collaboration of ASA, the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA), and the American HerbalPharmacopoeia (AHP). This unique collaboration combines the expertise of ASA, the nation’s largest medicalcannabis patient advocacy organization; AHPA, the principal U.S. trade association and voice of the herbalproducts industry since 1982; and the AHP, an organization that has developed qualitative and therapeuticmonographs on Western herbs since 1994. The result is that patients, healthcare providers, lawmakers, regula-tors, and medical cannabis businesses now have the tools they need to ensure reliable, high-quality hemp,medical cannabis, and medical cannabis products.

Founded in 1982, AHPA is the oldest non-profit organization specializing inservice to the herbal industry. All of AHPA’s activities are focused on its mis-sion, to promote the responsible commerce of herbal products. These activi-ties are undertaken to maintain and improve market opportunities for

companies that sell herbs, herbal and botanical products, and other health-related products, including foods,beverages, dietary supplements, and personal care products, while also ensuring that consumers continue toenjoy informed access to a wide choice of goods. In 2010 AHPA established a Cannabis Committee tasked withthe development of national Recommendations to Regulators that address sensible regulatory practices forhemp, cannabis, and cannabis-derived products. As such, the AHPA’s Cannabis Committee developed a series ofRecommendations to Regulators, or guidelines, in the following four areas:

1. Cultivation and Processing—Intended to establish a basis for oversight of entities that cultivate cannabisin outdoor, greenhouse, and/or indoor facilities, these guidelines address good cultivation practices,pesticide guidance, facility requirements, management of water resources, recordkeeping, product safetyrecall systems, adverse event recording, and information disclosure. These recommendations alsoestablish best practices and safe handling procedures for operations that provide post-harvest processingof cannabis.

2. Manufacturing, Packaging, Labeling and Holding—Intended to establish a basis for oversight of entitiesthat are engaged in the manufacturing of cannabis and cannabis-derived products, these guidelines are

6 PatientFocusedCertification.org

modeled after federally recognized Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) for botanical andnutraceutical products. These recommendations ensure that GMP’s are maintained in manufacturingoperations by focusing on personnel, physical condition of the plant and surrounding grounds,manufacturing controls, packaging, holding, and labeling controls, cannabis material acquisition,inventory and recordkeeping, complaints, returns, product safety recalls, and adverse event recording.

3. Distribution—Intended to establish a basis for oversight of entities that provide cannabis and cannabis-derived products directly to compliant individuals through storefront operations, delivery services, direct-from-garden operations, and growing co-op operations, these guidelines focus on personnel, security,product acquisition, record keeping, customer policies, implementable product safety recall systems,adverse event recording, and other matters that can contribute to best practices in the dispensarysetting.

4. Laboratory Analysis—Intended to establish a basis for the oversight of entities performing laboratoryanalysis of cannabis, cannabis-derived products, and hemp products, these guidelines were developed asa complement to existing good laboratory practices and focus on the personnel, security, samplehandling and disposal, data management, personnel safety and hygiene, and reporting activities thatmay be unique to laboratories analyzing cannabis, cannabis-derived products, and hemp samples. Inaddition to the AHPA guidelines, PFC certified laboratories are also required to adhere to the standardspresented in the AHP Cannabis Monograph.

Established in 1995, the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia (AHP) is a non-profit501(c)(3) California- based organization with a mission to promote the respon-sible use of herbal products and herbal medicines. The AHP produces criticallyreviewed documents called monographs that outline the quality control criteria

needed for ensuring the identity, purity, and quality of botanical raw materials.

Each monograph also presents a complete and critical review of the traditional and scientific literature regard-ing the efficacy and safety of herbal medicines and includes information on specific products such as tincturesand extracts. In 2011, the AHP began the development of a Cannabis Monograph and a TherapeuticCompendium for Cannabis. The first edition of the Cannabis Monograph was released in 2013 and provides sci-entifically valid standards for companies engaged in laboratory analysis of cannabis, cannabis-derived products

AmericansForSafeAccess.org 7

and hemp products with regards to:

1. Ensuring the identity, quality, purity, and potency of cannabis, cannabis-derived and hemp products;

2. Reporting, analytic equipment calibration and method validation;

3. And, ensuring product safety by identifying safe levels of pesticides, metals, and microbial limits.

PFC works at the local and state level to increase awareness and adoption of the AHPA guidelines and the AHPCannabis Monograph with relevant agencies. PFC and AHPA also works directly with regulators and industrytrade groups to coordinate the further development of cannabis industry standards. ASA is dedicated to theadoption of mandatory standards for the cannabis industry nationally. Quality control and product safety stan-dards based on the AHPA guidlines and the AHP Cannabis Monograph have been adopted in over a dozenstates.

IV. Industry Training

As state medical cannabis laws and regulations continue to evolve, medical cannabis-specific trainings havebecome increasingly mandated. States such as Arizona, Massachusetts, Nevada, Florida, Illinois, Connecticut,Washington, Maryland, Oregon, and the District of Columbia have mandated comprehensive training for allstaff working or volunteering in state-licensed medical cannabis facilities. PFC’s required staff training programis designed to meet the requirements of state mandated training programs and can help your company reducethe cost of developing, implementing and operating in-house medical cannabis training programs.

PFC currently holds the first government-issued educational permit from the District of Columbia to provide therequired staff trainings for the District’s legal medical cannabis providers. Additionally, PFC has been awarded acontract with the State of Maryland to train all compliance inspectors for the State’s medical cannabis program.

As a leader in medical cannabis education since 2002, ASA has distributed millions of copies of educational litera-ture to patients, healthcare professionals, researchers, industry labor, regulators, and concerned communitymembers and has conducted thousands of legal and advocacy trainings nationwide.

The PFC required trainings include the Core Cannabis Training, the National Cannabis Standards training(s) anda State Specific Legal and Compliance training. PFC is constantly developing new course material designed tofulfill the requirements of state mandated trainings, while providing ongoing educational opportunities toenrich and meet the continuing educational needs of your company’s staff. PFC trainings are available onlineor are offered in-person by a PFC Certified Instructor.

MULTIPLE DISCIPLINE CERTIFICATION

For those companies engaged in multiple types of industry operations, PFC offersmultiple discipline certifications. This certification opportunity allows companiesengaged in a combination of cultivation, manufacturing, and/or distribution to certifyall areas with one PFC seal of approval denoting the combination of disciplines and acommitment to product safety for all aspects of their operation. In order to upholdthe integrity of PFC independent laboratory testing services and the product safetyverification such certified laboratory’s offer, PFC does NOT allow laboratory certifica-tion to be combined with other disciplined operations receiving PFC certification. If aPFC laboratory operation wishes to certify in a second discipline, then the certifiedlaboratory facility may NOT be used to satisfy the testing requirements of the second-ary discipline.

VI. Certification Process

HOW TO BECOME CERTIFIED

PFC offers a confidential and supportive certification process that includes:

1. Application—the PFC process begins when the licensee or licensee applicant provides a completedapplication to PFC. A confidential review of the business operations is completed to determineappropriate inspections and testing.

2. Quote—using information generated by the Application, PFC staff prepares a price quote and anestimate of time required for completing the certification process

3. Contract—a contract is executed outlining the responsibilities of all parties involved including financialobligations, non-disclosure protections for the applying company, and acceptance of terms.

4. Preliminary Assessment (optional)—available as PFC Advisory Services, PFC staff is available to provideprocedures for an upcoming document and physical audit and can work with management to preparethe operations facilities and processes.

5. Documentation Audit—an offsite review of company documentation determines if the company’slicensing and processes are sufficient to ensure adherence to standards.

6. Training Audit—verification of the mandatory training of all paid and volunteer employees, including allnew hires that occur over the course of the certification year. This audit is ongoing and employees musthave successfully completed all PFC required trainings prior to certification approval or renewal.

12 PatientFocusedCertification.org

7. Document and Facility Audit—trained independent PFC field inspectors conduct a confidential PFCstandards audit and a facility inspection.

8. Product Testing— PFC tests for pesticides, molds, and contaminants with an independent third-partylaboratory when available, necessary, and appropriate for certification or complaint resolution.

9. Initial Scoring and Corrective Recommendations—the licensee receives the results of the PFC audit and isgiven corrective actions to be remedied as needed.

10. Secondary Audit—as needed

11. Certification—the PFC Review Board will issue the licensee’s certification once the PFC auditor verifiesany required corrective actions have been remedied and all compliance standards have been met.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR CERTIFICATION

Your company is ready for certification after you’ve implemented good management practices based on AHPAstandards, trained employees to become proficient with processes, and developed a sufficient evidentiary trailof documents that can be assessed. PFC staff can provide applicants with discounted training programs, as wellas document preparation and advisory services to help you company prepare for certification. Please contactPFC for additional information on advisory services.

PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT

In many cases, the company seeking certification may request an optional preliminary assessment of their oper-ations which is offered through PFC’s Advisory Services. This gives PFC the opportunity to identify in advanceany weaknesses that may exist in the company’s management systems. A preliminary assessment gives the com-pany sufficient lead- time to correct deficiencies before audits are conducted and assists PFC in planning for thecertification. The scope of the preliminary assessment is determined by the company and may range from areview of documents to a full assessment, including on-site operational observation and assessment. While thepreliminary assessment is optional, it is recommended. Ultimately, it may save time and expense by revealingdeficiencies that, if corrected before the required audits, can save the expense of follow-up audits before certi-fication can be granted.

DOCUMENTATION AUDIT

A PFC Independent Auditor assigned to the company will retrieve all local and state licensing documents, aswell as management system documents and manuals. The assigned PFC auditor will review the documentationto determine whether it meets all requirements of local and state regulations, and the AHPA and AHP stan-dards.

Documentation should include, at a minimum:

1. Standards manual(s) – outlining systems utilized to ensure compliance with state and local law andregulations as well as the AHPA and AHP guidelines

2. Operating procedures – including detailed descriptions on how to perform system functions;

3. Work instructions – defining specific job activities affecting the safety and quality of products andprocesses; and

4. Quality documentation – documents that demonstrate how quality is managed including records, charts,files, inspection and testing records, assessment results, implementable product recall procedures,adverse event reporting, and any other records of objective evidence.

If the documentation fails to meet standards, the deficiencies will be identified in an audit report, and the licenseeis required to take corrective action before certification can be awarded. Once PFC has determined that the docu-mented management systems are satisfactory, a facility audit will be scheduled.

AmericansForSafeAccess.org 13

TRAINING AUDIT

A PFC auditor assigned to the company will verify that all paid and volunteer staff has successfully completedthe required PFC trainings. Successful completion of PFC required courses is documented by passing the corre-sponding on-line tests with a score of no less than 80%. All company staff must successfully complete therequired trainings prior to receiving certification and all new hires are required to successfully complete therequired trainings within 30 days of hire date in order for the company to maintain PFC approved company sta-tus.

FACILITY AUDIT

The assigned PFC auditor(s) will complete a thorough on-site assessment of the facility and its operations. Anaudit agenda will be prepared for the licensee prior to the arrival of the PFC auditor(s) including a daily sched-ule and any accommodation requests. It is the auditor(s) responsibility to verify whether the management sys-tems of the company meet all of the requirements of applicable standards.

Upon arrival at the facility, the PFC auditor(s) will conduct an introductory meeting followed by a full facilitywalk-through to observe activities and confirm that the operating procedures outlines in the document audithave been successfully implemented. All PFC auditors reserve the right to obtain samples for the purpose oflaboratory testing, conduct private interviews with employees, inspect documents and records, observe workprocesses, and examine equipment. The objective of the facility audit is to verify technical competency includ-ing statements, documented procedures, records, and written policies.

If deficiencies are found during the course of the audit, the PFC auditor(s) will bring the deficiencies to thelicensee’s attention and record them in the audit report as required or suggested corrective actions, dependingon the severity of the deficiency. The audit report will specifically describe, in detail, what deficiency wasobserved, the related standard or policy to which it relates, and the necessary corrective actions required toremedy the deficiency. PFC audit reports also include a recommended timeline for the company to receive certi-fication. This timeline varies depending on potential corrective actions.

PRODUCT TESTING

PFC provides a wide range of comprehensive medical cannabis product safety testing, where available (servicesmay be limited in some states). PFC’s independent laboratory testing services assist certified companies with theestablishment of product stewardship by confirming content and purity, identifying problems with contamina-tion, and determining potential for human and environmental exposure risk to ingredients and by-productsincluding potential allergens, residuals, and microbiological adulterants. The PFC program specializes in examin-ing product composition, proper packaging, labeling, and storage protocols that ensure public and patientsafety. PFC laboratory testing conducted for certification verification is provided by PFC independent certifiedlabs conforming to AHPA and AHP guidelines, as well as all applicable local and state laws and regulations.Laboratory testing for the purposes of certification verification is limited to necessary testing to meet standards.Where allowed by state law, our independent certified laboratory testing facilities can also provide patients,caregivers, and licensees cannabis analytical services as requested.

EXIT MEETING

Upon completion of the on-site audit, the assigned PFC auditor(s) will conduct an exit meeting. A summaryreview of the facility audit will be discussed with management or the primary contact person, and regulatorsas applicable. If deficiencies were recorded, they will be described at this time and included in the final facilityaudit report. All PFC applicants will be given a reasonable time period to implement any required correctiveaction(s).

CORRECTIVE ACTION

All companies with identified deficiencies will be given a reasonable timeframe to implement the mandated cor-rective action. PFC requires that all corrective actions be implemented and approved by the assigned auditorbefore certification can be granted. The corrective action response must include objective evidence, which shows

14 PatientFocusedCertification.org

the necessary corrective actions have been completed. PFC may require a follow-up on-site facility audit, limitedto the area of concern, depending on the nature of the deficiency. Certification cannot be awarded until anyand all deficiencies have been adequately corrected.

FINAL REVIEW, REPORT AND APPEAL PROCESS

Within 10 business days of the facility audit (if no deficiencies are found) or upon confirmation of completedcorrective actions, PFC will issue a confidential report and certification decision (report will be provided to regu-lators if necessary). All documentation will be forwarded to PFC’s Peer Review Board, and the ExecutiveCommittee will review the audit report and checklist prior to issuing a decision on the certification. If the PeerReview Board grants a company certification, they are notified immediately and the appropriate certificationmaterials will be issued.

In the event that an application for PFC certification is denied, an appeal may be submitted within 10 businessdays of the issuance of the decision. PFC provides an independent Dispute Board that includes at least threemembers from the PFC Peer Review Board. Each Dispute Board member must have sufficient knowledge andexpertise in the discipline to perform a review of materials and reports and issue an impartial decision.

CERTIFICATION

Upon the successful completion of PFC required trainings, audits, and necessary corrective actions the companywill become PFC approved and will receive a PFC approved materials package. PFC certification materialsinclude:

1. A certificate bearing the certified company’s name, physical address and the PFC’s certification logo;

2. PFC certification window decals;

3. Educational and promotional materials for patients, healthcare providers and regulators;

4. PFC website links;

5. A Standards Packet including applicable AHPA guidelines and an AHP Cannabis Monograph;

6. Verification that copies of the approved certification(s) have been sent to regulators and localities, asrequired by law;

7. Annual audit reports, audit checklists and compliance updates.

Once certification has been granted, the review period begins, and the company may be subject to randomand unannounced audits and/or product testing. An annual re-certification process is mandatory. Follow-upaudits may require document submissions and/or an on-site visit. Certified companies are required to respondwithin five (5) business days to any complaint submitted to PFC (by consumers, healthcare providers, stakehold-er groups, regulators, etc.) for which a response is determined by the PFC Peer Review Board, to be necessary.PFC will maintain records of complaints on certified companies. Such complaints may trigger unannouncedinspections depending on the complaint severity and/or frequency. If for whatever reason certification must besuspended, PFC will notify regulators.

CERTIFICATION PROCESS TIMELINE

The length of time required to complete the certification process depends on several variables including: thediscipline(s) and size of facility, number of employees, and complexity of operations. The amount of time ittakes a company to achieve readiness for certification depends on the quality of management systems currentlyin place. PFC provides optional advisory services to identify and resolve documentation and process deficienciesin advance of the audit process.

The speed of the certification process is dependent upon timely and complete responses from the applicant. Atypical certification process will follow a timeline similar to the following:

1. Application Submitted

AmericansForSafeAccess.org 15

2. Quote Issuance3. Contract Execution 4. Preliminary Assessment Completion (optional)5. Documentation Audit – (3-5 business days)6. Facility Audit/Product Testing (3-5 business days)7. Corrective Action Period (if necessary) – (5-15 business days) 8. Final Review, Report and Decision – (5-10 business days)

VII. Ongoing Review & Compliance

The assigned PFC auditor and PFC staff will continually monitor certified operations throughout the annual cer-tification period. PFC is committed to working with companies engaged in the PFC Program to achieve excel-lence by providing ongoing support and monitoring of corrective actions.

In the event of a law or regulation change, or when AHPA or AHP releases updated standards, a review auditmay need to be completed. PFC staff will notify certified companies of any updates to rules, regulations, and/orstandards and provide an explanation of actions required by the company to comply with said update, includ-ing a required timeframe for compliance.

VIII. PFC Program Oversight

The PFC Program is overseen by the PFC Peer Review Board that provides over 300 years of collective expertisein the realms of USDA food and product safety protocols, federal regulatory development, medical cannabisresearch, medical cannabis industry operations, pharmacology, and biochemistry. The PFC Peer Review Board istasked with the annual review and update of audit methodologies and program standards, the processing andreview of all certification appeals, complaint investigation and resolution, and any and all revocation actions.The review board may be asked to weigh in on a company’s corrective actions as determined through either ascheduled or a secondary follow up audit. Expanded PFC Peer Review Board bios can be found at patientfo-cusedcertification.org.

X. Fees and Discounts

Each applicant has its own unique characteristics that will determine the cost of certification. Two key elementscomprise the cost of certification: size and complexity of the operations. As the size of a company increasesso does the number of patients or consumers engaging in the company’s services or products. PFC’s patientand caregiver education program serves to provide your business with plenty of educational materials designedto help consumers understand the importance of the PFC seal of approval.

All quotes also include the cost of the initial pre-certification audit plus the required compliance audit. As acompany grows in size and possibly in complexity of operations so does the amount of time necessary to con-duct a thorough audit of the company’s operations. For example, a company that dispenses medical cannabisoften requires much less time to conduct an audit than a company that cultivates and manufactures medicalcannabis. As such these scalable costs are reflected in the PFC quote.

PFC will provide a quote after a complete review of your application. This quote is an estimated cost and willinclude:

1. Fees for preliminary assessment (optional)

2. Fees for the initial audit plus one unannounced compliance audit and certification review

3. Fees for certification including graphics and promotional literature

XII. Frequently Asked Questions

What is Third-Party Certification?

Third-party certification ensures that an independent organization has reviewed the cultivation and/or manu-facturing process of a product or the management process of a service in order to determine that the finalproduct complies with a specific set of standards designed to ensure safety, quality, or performance. PFC certi-fies compliance with AHPA and AHP standards for medical cannabis products and services. This review typicallyincludes comprehensive reviews of formulations and materials, independent testing, and facility inspections.Certified products typically exhibit the certifier’s ‘mark’ on their packaging to help consumers make educateddecisions about the products or services they are purchasing. PFC requires annual inspections, unannouncedrandom inspections, employee training and product testing to ensure that certified companies continue tomeet all AHPA standards after the initial certification. Other nationally recognized certification programsinclude Good Housekeeping, NSF and ISO.

What is the difference between PFC and ISO 17025 for Lab Certification?

ISO compliance will help an operator pass a PFC inspection. ISO 17025 accreditation ensures compliance with aspecific set of laboratory methods, PFC compliance ensures compliance with botanical health and safety stan-dards, and criteria for validating specific methods. Both PFC and ISO require significant documentation andmethod validation, but ISO depends on the operators being forthright whereas PFC compliance hinges on theoperator providing requested documentation i.e. ISO (e.g., 17025) audits whatever an operator presents as partof a “quality manual.” There could be a 1,000 procedures being used in the lab and only 1 could be in thequality manual. For an ISO audit, an operator is expected to show/help auditors identify “conflict” or correctiveaction areas, while PFC asks for specific criteria provided by the AHPA’s Recommendations to Regulators andthe AHP Cannabis Monograph..

ISO is used for commercial labs operating outside stateliness, laboratories are encouraged to get ISO but eventheir guidebooks suggest that local guidelines and standards are important for operating locally, if such guide-lines are available. ISO is often used when there is absence of a compliance or certification body, such as in asmall country with a few labs.

ISO is context deficient for medical cannabis operators. It doesn't tell you if the business is a good cannabisoperation or not because it only informs on what is needed to do an aspect of their work, regardless if it islegal or meant for human consumption. PFC offers training in specific areas of cannabis that are used by opera-tors and health department inspectors in compliance audits, ISO does not require that the staff be trained inspecific areas essential for operation in the cannabis industry. Sample handling, storage, security, legal opera-tions issues (ISO does not check licensing or permits from the state) are examples of best practices and regulato-ry requirements that ISO does not fully address for the cannabis industry.

Analytical Chemistry cannot be properly dealt with if its relationships with written standards are not taken intoaccount in order to efficiently contribute to the continuous improvement of human activities.

…the key issue in selecting an accreditation body is to ensure that it has recognition in the context inwhich the laboratory’s data needs to be used. Where a laboratory operates purely in a domestic marketand where the data is used only within the country, for example for local food safety or environmentalprotection, then a national accreditation body, even one with no international recognition, will normallybe entirely suitable.

(From “Complying with ISO 17025: A practical guidebook for meeting the requirements �of laboratory accreditation schemes based on ISO17025:2005� or equivalent national standards published by (United Nations Industrial Development Organization)
