Cannabis testing in Valais: why SCAV directs private clients elsewhere
Valais SCAV distinguishes private water analyses from other private examinations. This limitation matters before sending a cannabis product to Sion.

Valais's SCAV states in its FAQ that it does not handle private testing requests outside drinking and shower water. For other analyses it refers to private laboratory directories. The cantonal laboratory's existence is therefore not a cannabis sample-shipping recommendation.

Practical example · fictional
A Valais producer finds water prices and procedures. Flower requires a suitable product matrix and a different analytical question. Water testing cannot establish the composition of the harvest.
Your next steps
- Search beyond the private water service
- Ask providers about flower or extract methods
- Commission cannabinoids and residue questions separately
Can I simply deliver a cannabis sample to SCAV?
Its FAQ excludes private requests outside drinking and shower water. It directs other testing needs to private laboratory directories; do not submit cannabis unsolicited.
Questions to clarify locally
A cannabinoid profile alone establishes neither safety, absence of contaminants nor legal compliance.
