The OECD works on several fronts to support the safe and effective development of nanotechnology. It engages in research, provides guidelines, and fosters international cooperation. The OECD Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials (WPMN) is a dedicated group that addresses the health and environmental safety aspects of nanomaterials. The WPMN conducts testing and assessment programs to understand the implications of using nanomaterials in various applications.
