Ensure Consumer Safety with NIHC Verify

At the National Industrial Hemp Council (NIHC), we are committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and safety for the hemp industry. That’s why we partnered with the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) to launch the NIHC Verify program – a joint recognition accreditation initiative for hemp testing laboratories.
 
There is a pressing need for a consistent standard regarding consumable hemp and Cannabis in the United States. Laboratory accreditation is crucial for building consumer confidence and trust. As the hemp industry continues to grow, expanding the network of NIHC Verify-accredited labs is essential for safeguarding public health and moving the industrial hemp and cannabinoid industry forward with transparency and accountability. The NIHC Verify program is recognized by the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC). By adhering to ISO/IEC 17025, the global standard for testing and calibration laboratories, and establishes a benchmark for hemp testing labs to ensure consistent, reliable testing practices and meet strict requirements for Pesticides, Heavy Metals, Potency, Microbiology, and Residual Solvents Analysis.
 
It is imperative that Congress and the Federal government take decisive action to establish a universal standard for testing and verification. The NIHC Verify program covers essential testing categories such as Pesticides, Heavy Metals, Potency, Microbiology, and Residual Solvents Analysis.
