OECD Series on the Safety of Manufactured Nanomaterials and other Advanced Materials
The OECD aims to help governments co-operate in assessing and managing the risks from the production and use of manufactured nanomaterials. It covers issues related to risk assessment, regulatory programmes and a safer innovation approach. The OECD has also started discussing the safety of advanced materials. This Series includes tools for the safety assessment of nanomaterials and other advanced materials, as well as information relevant for the implementation of safety policies in member countries.
