BSCG CERTIFIED CBD PRODUCTS

INTERNATIONAL THIRD-PARTY CBD PRODUCT CERTIFICATION

BSCG created the BSCG Certified CBD program as the first international third-party certification for the CBD product industry that focuses on banned substances and drug testing protection along with product quality and manufacturing. Our rigorous certification approach ensures product quality and increases consumer confidence and awareness while providing assurance to drug tested athletes or professionals that use of the product will not violate anti-doping rules. The program includes supplier verification, cannabinoids and environmental contaminant testing, testing for 507+ drugs including 298 from the WADA Prohibited List as well as 209 other pharmaceutical contaminants. A compliance review that considers claims and the manufacturing quality control process is also included.

A note on THC – THC, the psychoactive chemical in cannabis, is one of the biggest concerns when it comes to CBD products. Consumers want to know, can I get ‘high’ or can I test positive on a drug test using this CBD product? The answer with our certified products is no. We address the concerns by applying a daily dose limit on THC based on product suggested use that is designed to keep urine levels of THC well below any thresholds used in sport or workplace drug testing. At the levels we allow, no psychoactive effects are expected.

The BSCG Certified CBD program answers key questions about CBD products with science and application of a consistent ongoing testing regiment. Good Manufacturing Practices, quality management system, product claims and labels are audited and evaluated as part of the initial certification process.

The CBD brands below have been certified according to our BSCG Certified CBD program requirements. Batch certification results are available for each item tested. Remember to verify that the batch you are using has been certified. Please e-mail us at info@bscg.org with any concerns or questions.
