Testing a Representative Set of Nanomaterials – The Launch of a Sponsorship Programme

04-déc.-2007

OECD’s Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials, has launched a “sponsorship programme” in which countries will share the testing of specific nanomaterials (MNs).  Much valuable information on the safety of MNs can be derived by testing a representative set for human health and environmental safety.  In launching this “sponsorship programme” the Working Party agreed a priority list of MNs for testing (based on materials which are in or close to commerce) as well as a list of endpoints for which they should be tested.  The OECD will be making regular updates on this programme.

This document provides an up-to-date synthesis of knowledge and understanding developed by the OECD on this subject in recent years, and paves the way for further work in the context of an OECD Innovation Strategy as requested by the 2007 OECD Council Ministerial.

Current Developments/ Activities on the Safety of Manufactured Nanomaterials, Berlin, Germany, 25-27 April 2007
