NIA member Yordas has authored a EUON Nanopinion article exploring REACH obligations for multi-component nanomaterials. The publication examines regulatory complexity of these advanced materials, composed of several nano-constituents with properties differing from individual components.
OECD is consulting on a draft Test Guideline for nanomaterial solubility and dissolution rates (pH 5–8).Public comments accepted through November 11, 2025.
Read MoreThe NIA is forming a dedicated Carbon Nanotube committee to build a unified industry position for regulators and potential end users.CNTs' controversial placement on the CHEMSEC SIN List is a key driver, signaling the regulatory pressure the committee will need to confront head-on.Nominations from NIA members close October 10, with the first meeting to follow shortly after.
Read MoreStandard chemical bioaccumulation tests don't work for nanomaterials in fish, and the OECD now has guidance on what to do instead.The framework introduces decision trees and stability pre-tests to determine whether a full study is even feasible before researchers commit to one.Carbon and non-metal nanomaterials remain a gap, with dedicated quantification guidance still in development.
