Summary:	The German chemical industry has core principles and commitments under the Responsible Care Global Charter of the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA). This document contains guidance documents and recommendation papers for the safe handling of nanomaterials in accordance with these principles. In the area of product safety and regulatory compliance, the VCI has issued documents regarding REACH and guidance for a tiered assessment of gathering hazard information regarding nanomaterials. In conjunction with BAuA (the German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health), the VCI has issued guidance for handling and use of nanomaterials in the workplace. Regarding best practices for sharing information regarding nanomaterials in the supply chain, VCI has issued guidance on nanomaterial safety data sheets. To close knowledge gaps in hazardous effects of nanomaterials, a number of joint safety research studies are ongoing, some of which are described in the included roadmap.
