Strengthening the nation's use of forensic science through improved standards.
About us
Administered by NIST, OSAC is a collective body of more than 550+ forensic science practitioners and other experts representing all levels of the government, academia, and industry. Together, these members have expertise in a broad array of forensic science disciplines as well as scientific research, measurement science, statistics, law, and policy. OSAC is working to strengthen forensic practice through improved standards. To do this we: facilitate the development of technically sound, science-based standards through a formal standard developing organization (SDO) process; evaluate existing standards published by SDOs for placement on the OSAC Registry; promote the use of the OSAC Registry approved standards throughout the forensic science community; and establish and maintain working relationships with other similar organizations.

Forensic science standards are crucial for enhancing reliability and trust in the results produced by forensic examinations. OSAC is working to strengthen forensic science through the development and implementation of standards – if you are a forensic science service provider and would like to share your implementation status with us, please consider submitting an implementation survey and join the national voluntarily movement toward standardization: https://lnkd.in/guxh9eGi #ForensicOSAC #ForensicScience #Forensics #Standards
