The Safety Equipment Institute (SEI), an affiliate of ASTM International, and the National Industrial Hemp Council of America have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a joint certification program for hemp testing laboratories. This initiative will lead to industry harmonization and create confidence in hemp brands that promote consumer health and safety.
"We're excited for this program that we believe will strengthen consumer confidence and be a value add for hemp producers. Partnering with SEI and ASTM International, who have a rich history in certification and standardization, should make for an excellent partnership." stated Patrick Atagi, president and CEO of the National Industrial Hemp Council of America.
