SCCS publishes an Opinion on Copper (nano) and Colloidal Copper (nano)

The SCCS, based on all information provided by Notifiers, is of the opinion that it is not possible to carry out safety assessment of the nanomaterials Copper and Colloidal Copper due to the limited or missing essential information, since most of the information made available to the SCCS regarding toxicity related to copper, hence, it was not possible to determine the relevance of the data for the nano-forms. Adequate information on various aspects both for the nanomaterial characterisation and the toxicological evaluation including experiment performance and experimental data still needs to be provided.
