What is Osac
Administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Organization of Scientific Area Committees (OSAC) for Forensic Science is a collaborative 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.
WHAT WE DO
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.
