Scope

1.1 This standard specifies the environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and lighting, under which cannabis/hemp flowers intended for human use are to be packaged to ensure the safety, quality, and weight stabilization of the packaged flower. This specification does not apply to frozen cannabis/hemp nor to cannabis/hemp intended for extraction.

1.2 This specification applies only to controlling an indoor environment (heat, cooling, humidity control) surrounding packaging operations. Outdoor operations are outside the scope of this specification and are not addressed.

1.3 This specification is to be followed by licensed operators in the cannabis/hemp space who move the cured crop(s) into consumer or non-consumer packaging used for distribution.

1.4 Security of the cannabis/hemp flower during the packaging process is not within the scope of this specification.

1.5 This specification is intended to remain valid until the packaged cannabis/hemp flower is placed in storage or transit.

1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
