Scope
The limits apply across Nevada cannabis product categories that require heavy metal screening in the regulation tables.
Exact limit and units
| Metal | Matrix | Limit | Unit | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arsenic | Cannabis products requiring heavy-metal screening | <2 | ppm | Product as tested |
| Cadmium | Cannabis products requiring heavy-metal screening | <0.82 | ppm | Product as tested |
| Lead | Cannabis products requiring heavy-metal screening | <1.2 | ppm | Product as tested |
| Mercury | Cannabis products requiring heavy-metal screening | <0.4 | ppm | Product as tested |
How tested
The limits appear in product-category testing tables under independent testing laboratory requirements.
Enforcement posture
Lots or production runs that fail required quality-assurance testing are subject to disposal, remediation, retesting, or other regulatory handling under the Nevada cannabis rules.
History of changes
The regulations were adopted July 21, 2020 and effective November 5, 2020.
How it compares
Nevada values match the concentration equivalents of the Washington 5 g daily-dose table, but are stated directly in ppm.
