Appointed officers could identify seized cannabis with specified colour-change tests and submit certificates that courts had to accept unless materially disproved. The regulations took effect on 27 August 2021 and replaced the earlier 2016 drug-analysis rules, while leaving existing proceedings under those rules.[1] A 2024 one-gram cannabis prosecution later relied on a police test using the KN reagent system.[2]
