Quick Links


Overview

A testing laboratory license allows a laboratory testing facility to analyze harvested and processed medical-use marijuana for the presence of harmful contaminants. Licensed labs may charge fees to other commercial licensees for compliance testing.

As a condition of licensure, all applicants must show documentation of accreditation to ISO 17025 standards by an accreditation body like the ANSI/ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB), American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA), Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation (PJLA), International Accreditation Service (IAS), or COLA.

Laboratories will only be permitted to report test results generated in their laboratory from methods for which they possess accreditation.

Licenses are available for Oklahoma residents who are at least 25 years old. All members, managers and board members of entity applicants must be Oklahoma residents, and entities must have at least 75% ownership by an Oklahoma resident.

Owners and officers must pass a background check.

Licensed laboratories must comply with Title 63 O.S. § 420 et seq. and the Oklahoma Administrative Code (OAC) 442:10. Licenses are valid for one year.

The nonrefundable application fee is $20,000 plus a $452.04 credit card processing fee for applications submitted on or after June 1, 2023.
