European Union The European Union has a more precautionary approach, with regulations like the REACH framework, which requires manufacturers to evaluate and report the risks of nanomaterials. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) assesses the safety of nanomaterials in food and feed.
Asia In Asia, countries like Japan and China are actively developing regulations. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) and China's National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) are key players in setting guidelines and standards.
