(c) A laboratory application is subject to the same application review procedures as other applicants.
(d) In addition to the denial criteria in OAR 845-025-1115 (Denial of Application), the Commission may refuse to issue a laboratory license for any violation ORS 475B.550 (Definitions for ORS 475B.550 to 475B.590) to 475B.590 (Exemption from criminal liability), OAR 333-007-0300 (Marijuana Testing: Purpose and Effective Date) to 333-007-0490, OAR 333, Division 64 or these rules.

(A) Holds a producer, processor, wholesale or retail license;
(B) Is registered with the authority under ORS 475B.420 and is a person designated to produce marijuana by a registry identification cardholder as that is defined in ORS 475B.410; or

(f) Laboratory application and license fees are established in OAR 845-025-1060 (Fees).
(g) A laboratory that is only accredited to perform sampling may be designated as a Sampling Laboratory for purposes of the licensing fee in OAR 845-025-1060 (Fees). This designation may only be changed upon license renewal.
(2) Accreditation by the Authority
(a) In addition to the requirements listed in section (1) of this rule, an applicant for a laboratory license must be accredited by the Authority under OAR 333, Division 64 for any cannabis sampling or testing the applicant will perform under OAR 333-007-0300 (Marijuana Testing: Purpose and Effective Date) to 333-007-0490.
(b) An applicant for a license under this rule may apply for licensure prior to receiving accreditation, but the Commission will not issue a license until proof of accreditation is received.
(c) The Commission may make efforts to verify or check on an applicant’s accreditation status during the licensing process, but an applicant bears the burden of taking all steps needed to secure accreditation and present proof of accreditation to the Commission.
(d) In addition to the denial criteria in OAR 845-025-1115 (Denial of Application), the Commission may consider an application incomplete if the applicant does not obtain accreditation from the Authority within six months of applying for a license.

An applicant whose application is declared incomplete may reapply at any time.
(e) A licensed laboratory must maintain accreditation by the Authority at all times while licensed by the Commission. If a laboratory’s accreditation lapses or is revoked at any time for any reason while licensed by the Commission, the laboratory may not perform any activities that are subject to the lapsed or revoked accreditation until it is reinstated.
(f) Exercising license privileges without proper accreditation is a Category I violation and could result in license revocation.
