Developments in Delegations on the Safety of Manufactured Nanomaterials - Series on the Safety of Manufactured Nanomaterials No. 87

The OECD Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials (WPMN) is a subsidiary body of the OECD Chemicals Committee. This programme concentrates on human health and environmental safety implications of manufactured nanomaterials (limited mainly to the chemicals sector), and aims to ensure that the approach to hazard, exposure and risk assessment is of a high, science-based, and internationally harmonised standard. It promotes international co-operation on the human health and environmental safety of manufactured nanomaterials, and involves the safety testing and risk assessment of manufactured nanomaterials.

This document compiles information, provided by delegations, on the occasion of the 18th WPMN meeting (February 2018), on current developments on the safety of manufactured nanomaterials. It aims to summarise relevant information on activities related to manufactured nanomaterials, as well as other activities on nanotechnologies at the international level. This document is published under the responsibility of the Joint Meeting of the Chemicals Committee and Working Party on Chemicals, pesticides and Biotechnology of the OECD.
