- laboratory and quality evidence
- certification scope and validity
CannaSelection® CSC quality standard
The quality standard for clubs that want to make quality visible.
The CannaSelection® CSC quality standard gives cultivation associations a clear framework for cultivation, hygiene, documentation and laboratory testing. Clubs can have their processes assessed and demonstrate quality transparently.
A private CannaSelection® quality standard for clubs that want to assess their cultivation processes consistently and communicate them transparently.
THE FRAMEWORK
From your facility to a publicly verifiable status.
The standard combines clear requirements with a traceable assessment process. It defines what we assess, how we check evidence and when a club may use its certificate.
Keeping quality traceable over time
- clear validity periods and repeat audits
- updated evidence after relevant changes
- clear processes for irregularities
- documented decisions and next steps
FAIR AND CLEAR
We assess what really matters for quality and transparency.
Deviations are not all treated in the same way. What matters is their impact on quality, safety and traceable processes, and how the club responds.
Significant issues require proper correction
- critical deviations are fully resolved before approval
- major deviations require correction and traceable evidence
Improvement remains part of a good system
- limited deviations receive a clear correction process
- recommendations help develop processes over time
EVIDENCE, NOT PROMISES
Status is based on demonstrable processes.
Documentation, on-site findings and the laboratory readings required for the respective scope form the basis of a traceable decision.
How certificate status is established
- relevant requirements are demonstrably met
- laboratory and quality evidence is available within the agreed scope
- corrective actions are completed and documented
- validity and scope are clearly recorded
Clear links between samples and results
- unique sample and batch identification
- documented packaging and handovers
- traceable assignment of laboratory results to the assessed scope
VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF QUALITY
The badge represents an active, verifiable status.
A certificate is issued only for the location and scope actually assessed. Members can check the current status through the club profile.
Clear rules for using the badge
- only with active certificate status
- only for the assessed location and stated scope
- linked to the public club profile
- limited to the certificate validity period
STATUS IN FOCUS
A clear process for updates, questions and decisions.
A good standard remains traceable. Status and adjustments are therefore documented in a structured way. Appeals receive a specialist review.
Status that provides direction
- active
- under correction
- suspended
- expired
- withdrawn
Questions and appeals
- a documented process for questions
- a separate specialist review of appeals
- a clear processing deadline and documented decision
