(4) For
			 the purposes of this section, limits have been written to the number of
			 significant digits that laboratories are expected to use when reporting to the
			 board and on associated certificates of analysis.
(5) Except as otherwise provided in this
			 section, licensed cannabis producer or processor that provided a sample that
			 fails quality control testing must dispose of the entire lot or batch from
			 which the sample was taken as provided by cannabis waste disposal requirements
			 in WAC
			 314-55-097
			 and document the disposal of the sample pursuant to traceability requirements
			 in WAC
			 314-55-083(4)
			 and recordkeeping requirements in WAC
			 314-55-087.
			 A licensee's sample that does not test above the pesticide action levels under
			 this section where test results show the presence of a pesticide that is not
			 allowed under subsection (1) of this section may still be subject to an
			 administrative violation if the disallowed pesticide was applied.
(6) Pursuant to WAC
			 314-55-102,
			 at the request of the producer or processor, the WSLCB may authorize a retest
			 to validate a failed test result on a case-by-case basis. All costs of the
			 retest will be borne by the producer or the processor requesting the
			 retest.
(7) Pursuant to WAC
			 314-55-102,
			 upon request a cannabis licensee must disclose and make available all quality
			 control tests and retest results for the lot or batch of usable cannabis,
			 cannabis concentrates, or cannabis-infused products to the cannabis licensee or
			 retail customer who is considering purchasing the usable cannabis, cannabis
			 concentrates, or cannabis-infused products.
