Abbreviation for Certificate of Analysis. An official document provided by a third-party laboratory that details the chemical composition of a cannabis product. It includes information about the levels of cannabinoids, terpenes, and any potential contaminants, such as pesticides, heavy metals, or residual solvents. The COA is used to verify that the product meets safety standards and accurately reflects its labeled potency.
