New Guide for ASTM D37 Preroll Analysis and Characterization Initiative
1. Scope
The initiative will include the following key activities:
a. Development of Standards: Collaboratively develop standardized methodologies and protocols for preroll analysis, addressing key aspects such as sample preparation techniques, experimental setups, measurement procedures, and data analysis methods.
b. Creation of Guidelines: Compile best practices and guidelines for preroll analysis, covering topics such as instrument calibration, quality control measures, uncertainty analysis, and reporting standards.
c. Terminology Standardization: Define a common terminology framework for preroll materials and properties, including standardized definitions, classifications, and nomenclature, to enhance clarity and consistency in communication.
d. Stakeholder Engagement: Engage with stakeholders from academia, industry, research institutions, and regulatory bodies to gather input, feedback, and expertise throughout the initiative.
e. Documentation and Dissemination: Document the developed standards, guidelines, and terminology in accessible formats, such as technical reports, manuals, and online resources, and disseminate them widely to the preroll analysis community.
The project aims to establish comprehensive standards, guides, and terminology for preroll analysis and characterization. This initiative is crucial to enhance consistency, accuracy, and efficiency in preroll analysis across the various cannabis and hemp markets. Products produced by this initiative will be used by subject matter experts in preroll analysis, researchers and scientists, industry professionals and practitioners, regulatory bodies, and standards organizations to help standardize and drive innovation.
