Development and implementation of Grouping and Safe-by-Design approaches within regulatory frameworks (NanoREG II)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2015, Date de fin: 31 août 2018,
One of the greatest challenges facing regulators in the ever changing landscape of novel nano-materials is how to design and implement a regulatory process which is robust enough to deal with a rapidly diversifying system of manufactured nanomaterials (MNM) over time. Not only does the complexity of the MNM present a problem for regulators, the validity of data decreases with time, so that the wel ...

A common European approach to the regulatory testing of nanomaterials (NANOREG)
Date du début: 1 mars 2013, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2017,
The innovative and economic potential of Manufactured Nano Materials (MNMs) is threatened by a limited understanding of the related EHS issues. While toxicity data is continuously becoming available, the relevance to regulators is often unclear or unproven. The shrinking time to market of new MNM drives the need for urgent action by regulators. NANoREG is the first FP7 project to deliver the answe ...
