Nanomaterials
Classifying a material as a nanomaterial (NM) requires at least 50 % of the particles have one or more external dimensions (size) between 1 nm and 100 nm. The experimental determinations of particle size and the particle number fraction are essential elements for assessing a material against the criteria in the EC NM definition.
EU jurisdiction explicitly addresses nanomaterials and contains regulatory definitions of the term ‘nanomaterial’. For example, in the Biocidal Products Regulation (EU) No 528/2012; the Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745; and the annexes of the Chemicals Regulation REACH (EC) No. 1907/2006, all of which were amended in 2018 to address nanomaterials.
