Explanation hallmark
This quality mark offers you the guarantee that the product meets all quality requirements that the
government requires of such products.
CAN, in its capacity as an independent consultant, strictly supervises this in all phases of production.
Also the product information and the information regarding use of the product are checked so that
you can use the product in a responsible way.
Because the market is growing explosively, numerous brands with numerous CBD products have
appeared in recent years. For many consumers it is unclear which products are reliable. The negative
reporting about product quality and the lack of government policy has caused unrest. That is why
CAN has taken the initiative to develop this quality mark.
The CAN quality mark promises:
1. That the quality of the product meets the requirements of the Industry standard;
2. That the labelling of the product meets the requirements of the Industry standard;
3. That the product can be traced back to the seed.
