Darwin Millard and ASTM International Meetings: Contributing to the Future of Cannabis Industry Standards

Darwin Millard, Vice-subcommittee Chair at ASTM International, shares his insights on the upcoming Cannabis Science Conference. As part of the pre-conference workshops, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in several ASTM International meetings. Darwin gives a preview of the “Initiative on Equipment & Facility Cleaning” and “Joint ASTM Subcommittee Initiative on Vape Device Safety & Testing” meetings that he will lead.

ASTM International is a global standards development organization that aims to create consensus standards for cannabis products. The D37 Committee on Cannabis was established to ensure the safety and quality of cannabis products through testing methods, cultivation guidelines, laboratory practices, and more. Stakeholders in the cannabis industry who are interested in these areas are encouraged to attend the meetings and contribute their insights.

On May 7th, 2024, there will be four ASTM meetings taking place. These include 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.
