If you are looking to get a certificate of analysis (COA) for your cannabis or hemp product we have compiled a list of the top cannabinoid testing laboratories in Europe. Whether you are a grower, producer, manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer getting an accurate COA is important for you own legal peace of mind and for your customers to know exactly what they are buying.
List of cannabis testing laboratories
3rd party lab testing
We are currently using Eurofins as certified, true 3rd part testing for our CBD oil products. You can read more about their accreditation schedule here.
We have another 3rd part testing institute before, Croatia Control which remains our back-up. Their accreditation can be found here.
A comprehensive list of cannabinoid testing laboratories in Europe
Our list of cannabinoid testing laboratories is designed to help you find a reliable partner who can test your products and samples to check for potency and safety. Even if you have your own in house lab or HPLC machine getting a third party to confirm your results is common sense and good practice
Is your laboratory competent?
Make sure the laboratory you choose is EN ISO/IEC 17025 compliant. This is the main ISO standard used by testing and calibration laboratories. In most major countries, ISO/IEC 17025 is the standard for which most labs must hold accreditation in order to be deemed technically competent.

Our medicinal cannabis consulting services are here to guide you in the right direction with comprehensive testing and GMP manufacturing including the following:
- GMP clinical trial medication (Cannabis flos, granulate and oils) in different types of primary packaging: bottles, pouches, bags, capsules. drop bottles
- Clinical trial documentation
- Basic cannabinoid profiling
- Advanced cannabinoid profiling
- Terpenoid profiling
Our professional analytical team also conducts quality control tests for medicinal cannabis such as:
- Appearance
- Foreign Material
- Fineness
- Identification A: Microscopic Properties
- Identification B: TLC
- Microbiological Contamination
- Aflatoxines (B1+B2+G1+G2)
- Pesticides (Ph. Eur. 2.8.13)
- Heavy metals (Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, Nickel and Zinc) by ICP
- Loss on Drying

Quality
Quality is our highest priority. PhytoVista operates to ISO 17025 standards and is in the process of becoming accredited.
Cannabinoid Analysis
As standard, they test for 14 cannabinoids using high pressure liquid chromatography.
Terpene Analysis
Using fully validated gas chromatography (GC) methodology, providing an accurate report of 21 terpenes.
Residual Solvents Analysis
Supercritical CO2 extraction is commonly used to make hemp extracts, though this method can leave flavonoids and other interesting polar (water soluble) compounds behind. Solvents are permitted to be used in the processing of foodstuffs under EU regulations, however the types of solvent and amount of residue considered safe are clearly defined. Isolates are also generally manufactured with the use of solvents, and depending on the manufacturing process, they may not all be removed.
Pesticides Analysis
A combination of LC-MS/MS and GC-MS to quantify up to 310 pesticides
Mycotoxins Analysis
Using UHPLC-MS/MS
- Aflatoxins B1, B2
- G1 G2 and Ochratoxin A
