TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act): In the U.S., TSCA regulates the introduction of new or already existing chemicals. FDA Guidelines: The FDA has specific guidelines for the use of nanotechnology in pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics. ISO/TC 229: This ISO technical committee focuses on standardization in the field of nanotechnologies.
