| The International Affairs Department's mission
is to better establish an international/geographical presence for
AOAC. AOAC is involved in many international initiatives with other
standard entities, and is working to increase international communications
and membership. AOAC remains very involved in global standardization
issues through the input of its International Coordination Committee,
the AOAC Liaison Committee, via its role as an NGO member of the Codex
Committee on Materials Analysis and Sampling (CCMAS).
American Oil Chemists' Society (AOCS) is now the
Secretariat of the InterAgency Meeting (IAM) and documents can be found on their website at http://aocs.org/meetings/iam/.
Anyone who would like to become involved in any aspect of AOAC's
international initiatives, please contact Al Pohland, Director of
International Affairs and Government Relations, at
