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 ...
