Key Benefits of ICHS For Consumers

Reliable Grading Framework

ICHS’ standards ensure objective, consistent evaluations on aroma, color, structure and trichome quality, as well as environment, product, and process. This means you will know exactly what you're getting every time.

​

​

Quality and Safety Assurance

ICHS certification confirms products meet and exceed regionally required testing, including testing for contaminants such as pesticides and heavy metals.

​

​

Transparency Through Technology

Products certified under ICHS often feature QR codes that link consumers to detailed reports, presenting comprehensive data on THC/CBD content, cannabinoids, harvest information, user experience insights, and even direct connection to the farm and farmer.

An Improved Market

Clear, consistent grading helps consumers make informed decisions. An ICHS badge indicates a trusted standard that includes a common language, quality grading, and recorded EPP.

 

Retailers can demonstrate their integrity and commitment to consumers by displaying ICHS certification, and consumers can feel confident in a brand's dedication to transparency and quality.​​

What Does The Number On The Badge Mean?

Each category (aroma, color, structure, trichome) is given a score based on the ICHS 100-point scale. The number on the badge is the total average of these four scores.

Ask For Graded Material at Your Local Dispensary!

When visiting your local dispensary, ask your budtender about quality-verified, graded material. Look for the badge of an ICHS associated grading service and scan the QR code to see a complete picture of the product you're buying.

Stay informed and empowered by taking your purchasing decisions into your own hands with graded cannabis.
