ASTM International’s cannabis committee has launched a new subcommittee in order to ‘facilitate dialogue’ in the global industry.
The subcommittee will be aimed at supporting the exchange of cannabis information and knowledge between global policymakers, regulators, scientists, and the general public.
Recently, at the request of the US Senate, the cannabis committee’s executive subcommittee provided public comment on the proposed Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act.
The subcommittee shared key information on ASTM International’s cannabis efforts, including, the history and scope of the cannabis committee, definitions of cannabis terms and published standards related to cannabis facilities.
ASTM International is a not-for-profit, international standards organisation that develops voluntary consensus standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services.
In 2017, it formed the ASTM Committee D37 on Cannabis with a group of industry leaders, to begin developing international standards for cannabis.
“With a patchwork of regulations across state, federal, and international levels, this subcommittee will be valuable to industry and government stakeholders as a means to collaborate,” commented David Vaillencourt, current chair of the new government liaison subcommittee.
“It’s really going to facilitate dialogue that will be key as we look ahead to a global marketplace in the coming years.”
