What you actually need to compare
A lab report only proves quality when batch number, test date and laboratory match the product in your hand. Check in this order: batch match, total CBD and total THC, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, microbiology. A missing panel removes the information, not the risk.
How Swiss pricing works
A full panel costs a producer CHF 250–600 per batch, i.e. CHF 0.50–1.50 per gram on small batches — exactly what budget sellers cut. A slightly higher price with a complete panel is therefore usually cheaper per genuinely tested gram.
The three most common buying mistakes
- Accepting a PDF with no lab letterhead, signature or accreditation number.
- Reading only the CBD figure and missing the test date — analyses older than 12 months are worthless.
- Confusing "not detected" with "not tested"; without a detection limit both read the same.
Swiss legal framework
Cantonal chemists spot-check THC, pesticides and labelling. Analyses should come from an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory; the accreditation number is verifiable with the Swiss Accreditation Service. Imported goods additionally need proof of compliance with Swiss limits.
Our recommendation
Recommendation: only buy products whose COA is under 12 months old, carries the batch number from the packaging, shows total THC below 1.0 % and covers pesticides and heavy metals with a stated detection limit. Anything else is a promise, not proof.
