## FAQ
- Q: Does the NFC label integrate with Metrc and other state tracking systems?
  A: Yes. The NFC chip's unique identifier is registered in the state tracking system (Metrc, BioTrack, Leaf Data) as the package tag. When the label is tapped, the cloud backend retrieves the full tracking record from the state system and displays it to the user. API integrations are available for all major state-mandated platforms.
- Q: Can consumers view lab test results by tapping the label?
  A: Yes. Tapping the NFC label with any smartphone opens a mobile-optimised page showing the batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) including THC / CBD potency, terpene profile, pesticide screening, heavy-metal testing and microbial analysis. The lab results are pulled directly from the testing laboratory's verified database (CannaSafe, SC Labs, Steep Hill, Anresco, Infinite Chemical Analysis, Modern Canna) keyed against the chip UID.
- Q: How does the tamper-evident feature prevent product diversion?
  A: The label uses a frangible bridge-antenna trace embedded in a destructible die-cut. If someone attempts to peel the label from a compliant product to apply it to an illicit product, the antenna breaks, the chip's CTTES (Counter Tamper Tamper Event Status) register is permanently set, and the next NFC scan returns 'tampered' status in the SDM payload. The label also shows visible physical damage that cannot be concealed.
- Q: How does the Metrc RFID plant tag differ from the NFC retail package label, and do I need both?
  A: Metrc operates a two-tier tag architecture: (1) plant tags — ultra-high-frequency (UHF) RFID tags issued by Metrc to licensed cultivators and attached to each growing plant / immature plant batch for cultivation-phase tracking; (2) package tags — UHF RFID or barcode-based labels applied to each harvested / processed retail package. Plant tags are procured directly from Metrc at a fixed per-tag fee and are non-substitutable — operators cannot use third-party tags at the plant level. Our NFC cannabis tracking labels are designed for the retail package layer, where operators have latitude to add consumer-authentication and tamper-evidence features on top of the Metrc package identifier. Typical deployment: Metrc UHF RFID plant tag during cultivation → transition at harvest to our NFC retail package label (encoded with Metrc package UID reference + COA link + tamper-evident die-cut) on the consumer-facing product. Check your state's specific tag policy as requirements vary; we support Washington State BioTrack barcode model, Oregon OLCC Metrc model, and proprietary / hybrid MSO stacks with the same chip family.
- Q: Can the label satisfy both state cannabis compliance and the upcoming EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) for cross-border hemp / CBD products?
  A: Partially — with the right encoding architecture. EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR, Reg (EU) 2024/1781) establishes the Digital Product Passport framework; whether cannabis / hemp / CBD is scoped into DPP priority categories remains to be determined in delegated acts (the textile, battery, electronics categories are first waves). For cross-border hemp / CBD products (legal in EU under Reg (EU) 2015/2283 Novel Food Regulation where authorised), our label can pre-encode the GS1 Digital Link URI (https://id.gs1.org/01/{GTIN}/10/{lot}/21/{serial}) that resolves to both (a) the US state tracking record (Metrc / BioTrack) when accessed by a US dispensary reader and (b) the EU DPP-format record when accessed from an EU endpoint, with the backend serving appropriate data per jurisdiction. This single-chip dual-jurisdiction model is technically sound; the legal compliance remains the operator's responsibility. We supply the identity anchor + GS1 encoding; the operator and counsel determine what data is exposed per jurisdiction per label tap.
