[embedded content]

In this edition of our Committee Insights series originally aired on Wednesday, June 9, 2021 members of our the Scientific Advisory Committee gave an update on testing standardization in the cannabis industry.

They reviewed which standards are in development from international Standards Development Organizations, such as ASTM International and AOAC International. They also discussed recent events that are leading to the creation of more test method standards, such as vapor emissions testing motivated by EVALI cases. They end with a conversation about what the Industry might look like in regard to testing once more standards are published.
