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 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.

The table of contents is as follows:

1. Introduction
