Summary

  • The NIA has launched its first Regulatory Committee, bringing together members from Europe and the U.S. to track and respond to nanomaterial regulations as they develop globally.

The NIA’s newly formed Regulatory Committee held its first meeting on 6 June with members from across Europe and the USA attending. The Regulatory Committee is the first outcome from the NIA’s strategy review and has been formed to assess and address any global regulatory  issue, regulation or standard that is current or proposed that may have a bearing on nanomaterials or the interests of NIA members. Meeting quarterly, the Committee is an opportunity for NIA Members to guide the NIA’s activities around regulations.
