Regulatory Aspects of Nanomaterials in the EU

Abstract

Abstract Nanomaterials are present in almost any industrial sector and addressed in corresponding legislation. The EC has developed a recommendation of the term nanomaterial for regulatory purposes. Due to uncertainties regarding the safety of nanomaterials, it is necessary to develop best practices and facilitate harmonization of assessment practices. However, more research with specific relevance for regulatory questions is still needed, in particular regarding the implementation of the definition of nanomaterials, the enforcement of product labeling, the development of methods for safety testing and risk assessment, and a better availability of quality data on nanomaterials for regulatory purposes.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • All legislation written specifically addressing nanomaterials is only applicable to the application for which it was written.

    “all the legislation written specifically addressing nanomaterials is only applicable to the application for which it was written”
  • ISO/TC 229 has provided a standard framework for terminology, nomenclature, metrology, instrumentation, requirements of reference materials, testing methodology, modelling, simulation and health, safety, and environmental practices.

    “ISO/TC 229 has thus provided a standard framework for terminology, nomenclature, metrology, instrumentation, requirements of reference materials, testing methodology, modelling, simulation and health, safety, and environmental practices [96].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
