No classification

Registered personal and designated production of cannabis for medical purposes inspections assess for any deficiency or deviation from legislative or regulatory requirements. Observations are made but are not classified for these inspections.

For more information, consult the Inspection results section.

Inspection ratings

An inspection can be assigned a compliant or non-compliant rating, based on the number and severity of observations noted during an inspection.

Compliant rating

A compliant inspection rating means that, at the time of the inspection, the licence holder has met the applicable legislative and regulatory requirements and is in control of the regulated activities under their responsibility.

A compliant inspection rating may be assigned even when observations are present.

Non-compliant rating

A non-compliant inspection rating means that, at the time of the inspection, the licence holder has not met the applicable legislative and regulatory requirements, and may not be fully in control of the regulated activities under their responsibility.

No rating

Promotions inspections are not assigned ratings since observations are not made. The purpose is to support the assessment of compliance for promotion activities and the associated requirements by gathering information.

Registered personal and designated production of cannabis for medical purposes inspections were not assigned inspection ratings since observations were not classified.
