Opties herziening EC-definitie nanomateriaal gepubliceerd

The JRC has published science-based options to improve the clarity and the practical application of the EC recommendation on the definition of a nanomaterial. The Commission's review process continues, assessing the options against policy issues.
As the definition should be broadly applicable in different regulatory sectors, the report suggests that the scope of the definition regarding the origin of nanomaterials should remain unchanged, addressing natural, incidental and manufactured nanomaterials. Furthermore, size as the sole defining property of a nanoparticle, as well as the range of 1 nm to 100 nm as definition of the nanoscale should be maintained (JRC News, 10 juli 2015).
