OECD releases snapshot view on current/planned activities related to the safety of manufactured nanomaterials

A document released by the OECD on the 23rd May provides a snapshot view on current/planned activities related to the safety of manufactured nanomaterials


A document released by the OECD on the 23rd May provides a snapshot view on current/planned activities related to the safety of manufactured nanomaterials. 

The document outlines information on those activities presented at the the 8th meeting of OECD's Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials, which took place in Paris, France from the 16-18th March 2011. It also includes written reports on current activities from other International Organisations such as the ISO, the FAO and the WHO.

According to the document, in each meeting of the Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials (WPMN), the delegations have an opportunity to provide their developments on the safety of manufactured nanomaterials, so called “Tour de Table.”

An earlier version of this document was originally provided to the 7th meeting (held 7-9 July 2010 in Paris, France).

The most recent document compiles information provided by member countries and other delegations on current developments on the safety of manufactured nanomaterials (section I) in their countries or organisations. There are also written reports on current activities related to nanotechnologies/ nanomaterials in other International Organisations including the International Organisation for Standardisation, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations and the World Health Organisation (section II).

The OECD state that this document is intended to provide delegations and other stakeholders with a “snapshot” of information on activities related to manufactured nanomaterials, as well as other activities on nanotechnologies, at the national and international level.
