Official responsibility: Schaffhausen
Interkantonales Labor AR/AI/SH
The Intercantonal Laboratory is based in Schaffhausen and handles food and chemicals duties for three partner cantons. It additionally lists environmental duties for Schaffhausen. Its location alone does not mean private cannabis samples are accepted.
Open official informationProduct control or an environmental investigation?
Practical example · fictional
A Schaffhausen business investigates its production environment. It first identifies whether the question concerns soil, water or a marketed product. A good cannabinoid profile cannot answer an environmental question.
Your next steps
- Specify matrix and location
- Separate environment from product composition
- Confirm authority and private service separately
Does IKL have the same duties everywhere?
No. Shared food and chemicals responsibilities cover three cantons; IKL explicitly lists additional environmental duties for Schaffhausen. The specific issue determines the appropriate contact.
