Experts, committee and laboratories
Verdicts are prepared by an independent expert pool, overseen by a Scientific Committee, and supported by accredited partner laboratories — see who stands behind a verdict.
Governance
Sheni Labs has no separate legal personality; it operates under PHIG’s governance, funding and ethical oversight. The GILS Advisory Board, in formation, will also advise the lab on its labour and occupational-health work. Partners review material for accuracy; they do not control publication.
