Precautionary Matrix for Synthetic Nanomaterials, Version 1.0 |
| Report ID: |
96 |
| Date: |
3/12/2008 |
| Report Type: |
Guidance Document |

| Country: |
Switzerland |
| Organization: |
Swiss Federal Office for Public Health and Environment |
| Summary: |
As nanotechnology develops, the identification of risks is essential for public safety and effective regulation. The Swiss Federal Council's “Action Plan Synthetic Nanomaterials” called for the creation of a precautionary matrix for purposes of identifying possible risks in the production, usage, and disposal of nanomaterials. The matrix permits the estimation of risk specific to nanoparticles and excludes other conventional risks such as chemical toxicity. It indicates whether a particular combination of nanomaterial characteristics pose a risk to workers, consumers, the environment, or any combination thereof. This document contains the matrix itself which is usable in tabular form. |

Synthetic Nanomaterials, Action Plan, Report by the Federal Council of 9 April 2008 |
| Report ID: |
86 |
| Date: |

| Report Type: |
Government Report |

| Summary: |
On April 9, 2008, the Swiss Federal Council approved the “Action Plan Synthetic Nanomaterials.” This action plan creates the basis of a regulatory framework to ensure public safety, the first phase of which relies upon personal responsibility in the industry and self-supervision. The objectives of the plan are to create scientific research identifying and preventing harmful effects of nanoparticles, to promote public dialogue about the benefits and risks of nanotechnology, and to utilize existing promotional capabilities to market nanotechnology. This document contains an analysis of the current state of nanotechnology as well as a description of the plan. |
