Organization of Scientific Area Committees for Forensic Science

WEBINAR: Performing calculations related to ethanol is a common practice for forensic toxicologists, however, there can be significant variability in how this work is conducted. Academy Standards Board (ASB)'s Best Practice Recommendation 122, on the OSAC Registry, was developed to improve the quality and consistency of this service. On April 29, learn more about the recommendations in ANSI/ASB 122 and how to apply them to real-world cases.?https://lnkd.in/eRSVqi4z?#ForensicOSAC #ForensicToxicology #Standards?

The first OSAC Standards Bulletin for 2025 is now available! We've started this new year by adding nine new standards to the Registry in the areas of crime scene investigation & reconstruction, digital evidence, footwear & tire, friction ridge, trace materials, and wildlife forensic biology. Provide your feedback on four OSAC Proposed Standards being considered for the Registry and on 19 other forensic science standards currently open for comment at the Academy Standards Board (ASB) and Scientific Working Group on Digital Evidence (SWGDE). Also, check out the newly published friction ridge and toxicology standards from ASB and seven digital evidence standards from SWGDE.
