Batch Production Record

Complete cannabis manufacturing batch production record (BPR) modeled on a NJ Class 2 extractor's actual operational form. Two-page format: page 1 captures inputs, packing summary, METRC tag drawdown, finished weights by extract form factor, vendor toll-processing split percentages, and dual signoff. Page 2 is the physical METRC sticker attachment page with verification signature. Aligned with NJAC 17:30-11.13 (manufacturing records) and 21 CFR 211.188 (batch production and control records).

When to Use This Template

Open a new BPR at the start of every extraction or manufacturing run, before any input weighing. Fill in real-time during production — do not pre-fill or back-date. Production Lead signs at end of run; Compliance signs after independent review. Both signatures required before product is released from quarantine. Affix all METRC tag stickers (incoming biomass tag, finished output tag, any split output tags) to page 2 — keep both pages stapled together for the life of the record.

What's Included

  • ✓Page 1 — Production Record:
  • ✓ • Header: Strain, Vendor/Provider, Batch ID
  • ✓ • Material type checkboxes (Fresh Frozen / Cured Trim / Cured Nugs)

  • ✓ • Tag Weight Total + Output Weight Total + auto-yield placeholder
  • ✓ • Packing Summary: socks count, pack date, total packed biomass weight
  • ✓ • METRC tag drawdown: per-tag total / amount used / fully used / remaining
  • ✓ • Extraction Date + CRC (Color Remediation Column) usage Y/N
  • ✓ • Finished Weights repeating section by product type (with QC grade)
  • ✓ • Split Weights repeating section: vendor toll % / SUN % per product
  • ✓ • Testing Weight Taken checkbox + amount
  • ✓ • Notes
  • ✓ • Dual signoff: Production Lead + Compliance
  • ✓Page 2 — METRC Tag Attachment:
  • ✓ • Header re-stating Batch ID / Strain / Date / Tech
  • ✓ • Sticker placement instructions
  • ✓ • Large blank area for affixing METRC tag stickers
  • ✓ • Tags Verified By signature + initials + date + notes

Compliance Notes

Supports NJAC 17:30-11.13 (Manufacturing records — full batch documentation including 14 enumerated fields per (b)(1)–(14)). Specifically 17:30-11.13(b)(6) date, (b)(7) personnel + supervisor verification, (b)(9) total quantity, (b)(10) detailed steps to enable future duplication, (b)(13) QC results. Also supports NJAC 17:30-9.7(a) batch traceability for recall and 17:30-11.12(a)(6) critical processes recorded and validated. cGMP analog: 21 CFR 211.188 (batch production and control records). Two-party signoff (Production Lead + Compliance) per cGMP 21 CFR 211.100(d) component verification standard. METRC tags must be created at run initiation, not after — late tag creation is a cited deficiency. Retain ≥2 years beyond product expiration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this BPR two pages?

Page 1 is the production record (data fields, calculations, signatures). Page 2 is the physical METRC tag sticker attachment area — operators peel METRC tag stickers off incoming biomass, finished output, and any split outputs and affix them directly to page 2. NJAC 17:30-9.7 requires container-level traceability and METRC verification; the dedicated sticker page makes that concrete and auditable. Both pages must remain stapled together for the life of the record.

What is CRC and why does this form ask if it was used?

CRC = Color Remediation Column, a filtration step in hydrocarbon and ethanol extraction that removes pigments and undesirables. Whether CRC was used affects the finished extract's appearance and potency profile and is a material process detail per NJAC 17:30-11.13(b)(10) (steps required to duplicate the product). Do not confuse with the NJ Cannabis Regulatory Commission, also abbreviated CRC.

How does the Split Weights / vendor toll-processing section work?

If the biomass was provided by an outside vendor (toll processing arrangement), output is divided between the vendor and the manufacturer per a per-batch negotiated percentage. Enter the vendor % and SUN/manufacturer % for each product type — the percentages should sum to 100% per row. If you are not running a toll arrangement for this batch (own biomass), leave the Split Weights section blank or mark N/A.

What if the calculated yield is outside the expected range?

Document the actual yield, then open a Deviation/CAPA report referencing this batch ID. Investigate root cause: input moisture, solvent recovery efficiency, equipment performance, operator error. Do not back-calculate or adjust the batch record entries to make the yield 'fit.' The yield variance itself is signal — falsifying it is a critical compliance failure.
