In the course of addressing public policy issues, it is beneficial to enlist the support and perspective of trusted advisors.

Looking at issues from a myriad of angles often provides a more realistic understanding of those issues. In addressing underlying causes, reasonable solutions can often be realized.

This is the mission of PH&S. We not only identify and address potential issues but it is relevant that we strive to put forth credible and achievable outcomes which serve to resolve those issues. Good public policy.

Resolution of issues verses advancing an agenda.

ASTM

ASTM International is one of the oldest and most respected consensus-based standards development organizations in the world, formed in 1898 as the American Society for Testing Materials. In 2017, ASTM International approved the formation of "Committee D37" to develop standards for cannabis and hemp, its products and processes. The activities are focused on meeting the needs of the cannabis industry, consumers, and regulators, addressing quality and safety through the development of voluntary consensus standards. Subcommittees focus on the development of test methods, practices and guides for cultivation, quality assurance, laboratory considerations, packaging and security. Through ATACH's MOU with ASTM International, and PH&S' MOU with ATACH, this creates a unique certification opportunity with an emphasis on involvement from law enforcement. D37 has grown to nearly 1000 members across 30 countries, including businesses, laboratories, associations, governments, regulators, and others.
