Many specification documents for [[laboratory informatics]] systems have been compiled over the years. Most of them tend to focus on a potential client's "wishlist" of features for a given system. This industry-specific version of the base [[Book:LIMSpec 2022 R2|LIMSpec]] document is different; it attempts to take a regulatory-, standards-, and guidance-based approach to building a specification document for laboratory informatics systems used within the [[cannabis]] testing [[laboratory]]. After the introduction, methodology, and a discussion of industry-specific functionality requirements, cannabis testing-related LIMSpec requirements are organized and listed, in all but a few cases supported by one or more regulations, standards, or guidance documents. This guide also addresses the functionality requirements specific to cannabis testing, matching them to entries in the specification. New in the 2023 edition is a Microsoft Word version of the specification, for download and use in the last chapter.
