That document must be retained for two years beyond the date it was created. Any cannabis product destroyed by the laboratory must be documented with a description, date destroyed, pre-destruction weight/volume, address of location where destroyed, method of destruction, and the names of the individuals who witness the destruction as well as their signatures and date signed. Retention period is for two years after the day of destruction. The laboratory is also required to hold pesticide test results for two years after the day the COA was created and produce them in a timely fashion upon request during inspection.

Additionally, any lot or batch samples not beginning analysis within 120 days upon receipt must be destroyed or distributed to another license testing lab. However, Canada Health also mandates that a portion of the representative sample used for analyses must be retained "for at least one year after the date of the last sale of any portion of the tested cannabis lot or batch” and must be sizeable enough to re-verify if the associate lot/batch meets legal requirements, re-verify cannabinoid percentages, and re-verify that cannabis meets Pest Control Products Act pesticide requirements.<ref name="~~GoCCannaRegs18~~" /><ref name="~~GoCMandatory18~~" />		Any lot or batch samples, as well as any cannabis obtained from the samples, must be destroyed within 90 days of completing analyses.
