| Report Title: |
Nanotechnologies – Good practice guide for specifying manufactured nanomaterials |
| Report ID: |
568 |
| Date: |

| Report Type: |
Guidance Document |
| URL: |
[PD6699-1.pdf] |
| Country: |
United Kingdom |
| Organization: |
British Standards Institution (BSI) |
| Summary: |
This guidance document seeks to solve the problem of insufficiently descriptive specifications for nanomaterial-containing products. Experience has shown that agreed specifications for nano products often fail to ensure that, on a batch-to-batch basis, the material consistently responds to downstream processing and generates consistent performance in the final product. Therefore, either the specification fails to cover all material characteristics that have an influence on performance, one or more characteristics is being measured by an inappropriate technique, or one or more measurement techniques is being applied in an incorrect manner. This document seeks to rectify such problems and explains various measurement techniques in existence and their characteristics. |

| Report Title: |
Guidance on the labeling of manufactured nanoparticles and products containing manufactured nanoparticles |
| Report ID: |

| Report Type: |
Guidance Document |
| URL: |
[PAS130.pdf] |
| Country: |
United Kingdom |
| Organization: |
British Standards Institution (BSI) |
| Summary: |
This guidance document builds on the suggestion in the Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering report (see report ID 446) that there should be guidance for suppliers and users of products containing manufactured nanoparticles. As a publically available standard, this document is intended to quickly provide relevant advice before the possible development of a British Standard in the subject area. Currently there is no generic labeling requirement for manufactured nanoparticles. Consumer labeling is necessary to inform consumers and businesses must be able to read product specifications and to select or avoid ingredients based upon nanotechnology. This document defines nano terms and describes how this labeling should be designed to convey relevant information throughout the lifecycle of a nano product, from upstream suppliers to consumers after purchase. |

Nanotechnologies Part 2: Guide to safe handling and disposal of manufactured nanomaterials |

| Country: |

| Organization: |
British Standards Institution (BSI) |
| Summary: |
The UK Department for Innovation, Universities, and Skills (DIUS) commissioned this document to provide guidance for assessing and identifying risks in the production and use of nanomaterials. It describes classifications of nanomaterials and applies an eight-step framework for assessing and managing risks: identifying hazards, identifying precautions, controlling exposure, ensuring that control methods are used, monitoring exposure, health surveillance, contingency planning, and employee training. Each step is described and current safety recommendations are listed. This document also provides guidance on developing a strategy to manage these risks. |
