Guidance on the implementation of the Commission Recommendation 2022/C 229/01 on the definition of nanomaterial
A new Recommendation on the definition of nanomaterial (2022/C 229/01) was adopted by the European Commission in 2022 to serve different policy, legislative and research purposes when addressing nanomaterials or issues concerning products of nanotechnologies. It is broadly applicable across a wide variety of fields. This guidance supports the implementation of the nanomaterial definition adopted in the new Recommendation. The guidance builds upon the two JRC Science for Policy Reports (EUR 29647 and EUR 29942). The present guidance gives an overview of the key terminology and concepts, provides a decision tree to identify nanomaterials and addresses identification of nanomaterials through measurements for the Recommendation on the definition of nanomaterial (2022/C 229/01). Furthermore, an Annex listing documentary standards relevant for a harmonised and coherent regulatory implementation of the definition of nanomaterial at European Union and national level was added.
