Discover how Test Guidelines are developed through the OECD
About this Webinar
Join the H2020 projects NanoHarmony and NANOMET to discover how Test Guidelines (TG) are developed through the OECD, with case studies from the TGs being supported through the projects for expansion into nanomaterials.
The webinar explains how novel methodologies are developed and approved through expert committees, eventually becoming internationally accepted standard methods used by governments, industry and independent laboratories to assess the safety of chemicals.
Who should attend?
The webinar is relevant for any stakeholder interested in how chemicals are developed and demonstrated as safe for market, within a global framework of countries.
The SbD4Nano project explores the Safe-by-Design concept which is a means to dampen human health and environmental risks, applying preventive safety measures during the design stage of a facility, process, material or product.
The EU Horizon 2020 project GRACIOUS is developing a science-based Framework, which aims to support practical application of grouping of nanomaterials and nanoforms for risk assessment
Dr. Neil Hunt authors new book: The Handbook for Functionalized Nanomaterials for Industrial Applications, which has recently been published by Elsevier
Dr. Vicki Stone, of the GRACIOUS project, hosted a webinar to highlight how a science-based framework enables practical application of grouping, leading to classification of nanomaterials
Based on data from national inventories and the EU catalogue of nanomaterials in cosmetics, ECHA expected updated registrations dossiers for almost 300 substances
The GRACIOUS project will develop a highly innovative science-based framework that supports the assessment of the risk posed by the ever-increasing array of nanomaterials
