What Guidelines and Regulations Exist for Nanomaterial Safety?
Multiple guidelines and regulations have been developed to ensure the safe use of nanomaterials:
- OECD: The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has developed guidelines for testing nanomaterial safety. - FDA: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provides guidance for the use of nanotechnology in food and drug products. - REACH: The European Union's Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation covers nanomaterials to ensure their safe use.
