Forensic Science Standards Library

OSAC's Forensic Science Standards Library is an interactive database of the current forensic science standards landscape. The term "standard" applies collectively to a document and can be a best practice recommendation, classification, code, guide, method/test method, practice, specification, or vocabulary/terminology. The elements required in a "standard" will differ by the type of document and by the standards developing organization (SDO).

Visit the OSAC Registry to see the SDO published and OSAC Proposed Standards that have been approved by OSAC and are endorsed for implementation.

Search for the following types of standards in the OSAC Forensic Science Standards Library:

OSAC Registry: The OSAC Registry is a repository of selected SDO published and OSAC Proposed Standards that have been approved and are endorsed by OSAC for implementation.
OSAC Registry Archive: The OSAC Registry Archive is a collection of standards that were on the OSAC Registry and have been replaced by revised standards.
SDO Published: This is a standard that has been developed through the consensus process and has been published by a standards developing organization (SDO). An SDO published standard is available to the forensic science community and may be considered for the OSAC Registry.
In SDO Development: This is a standard that is currently under development at an SDO. The standard may have been initially drafted within OSAC and sent to the SDO for further development, or it may have been started directly at the SDO.
OSAC Proposed: This is a standard that was initiated and drafted by OSAC and will eventually be sent to an SDO for further development and publication. An OSAC Proposed Standard may or may not be included on the OSAC Registry.
Under Development: This is a working draft inside of OSAC and not yet publicly available.
