Seeing 'AVC Verified' on a product lets consumers know they can shop freely with confidence knowing they'll get what they paid for — while at the same time ridding the marketplace of pesky snake oil salespeople, further legitimizing the industry.
How do I obtain the AVC Verification Mark?
Cannabis developed products that meet the program's strict testing and evaluation criteria are awarded the distinctive AVC Verified Mark. The Mark can be used on product labeling, packaging, and promotional materials to help distinguish AVC Verified products in the marketplace and aid consumers in their decision-making process.
To obtain the AVC Verification Mark, manufacturers must undergo:
Manufacturing facility audit for compliance with AVC General Chapter <2750> Manufacturing Practices for Cannabis Products and FDA current Good Manufacturing Practices (21 CFR Part 111)
Review of manufacturing and quality control product documentation

AVC will be unique in nature because each product will go through a comprehensive interview process with each analytical testing lab. Each product will have unique characteristics that need to be validated by the lab so that there is clear communication of the products they are testing. AVC will set the standard prior to the FDA coming out with a ruling based on California regulations to begin the process of standardization. AVC will comply with the California Bureau of Cannabis control and the Federal Government THC restrictions for cannabis products.
