Advancing the Cannabis Industry: ASTM Subcommittee Meetings on Equipment & Facility Cleaning, Vape Device Safety, and Diversity at the Spring 2024 Conference

Darwin Millard, Vice-subcommittee Chair at ASTM International, has announced the upcoming ASTM Subcommittee meetings that he will be leading during the Cannabis Science Conference. The pre-conference workshops will feature several ASTM International meetings for attendees to participate in. Darwin provides a sneak peek at the “Initiative on Equipment & Facility Cleaning” and “Joint ASTM Subcommittee Initiative on Vape Device Safety & Testing” meetings he will guide.

ASTM International is a global standards development organization that established the D37 Committee on Cannabis to create consensus standards for cannabis products. These standards cover various areas, including testing methods, cultivation guidelines, and laboratory practices. Stakeholders in the cannabis industry who have an interest in these areas are encouraged to attend the meetings and contribute their insights.

On May 7th, 2024, there will be four ASTM meetings, including the ASTM Subcommittee D37.93 on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Meeting led by Scheril Murray Powell, Esq., the ASTM Subcommittee D37.04 Initiative on Equipment & Facility Cleaning guided by Darwin Millard, the Joint ASTM Subcommittee Initiative on Vape Device Safety & Testing also led by Darwin Millard, and the ASTM Task Group developing a Standard Guide for Cannabis/Hemp Laboratory Out-of-Specifications (OOS) and Retesting led by Jini Glaros, Chief Scientific Officer at Modern Canna Laboratories.
