Summary
The OECD has launched a public consultation on a draft guidance document to improve the accuracy of assessing the effects of nanomaterials in biological samples. The project's aim is to ensure more reliable and consistent nanomaterial safety evaluations under OECD Test Guidelines. The document will provide guidance on sample preparation, analytical techniques, and validation approaches to better quantify the presence of nanomaterials within biological samples used for toxicity and ecotoxicity studies.
This new guidance aims to support regulatory frameworks and facilitate regulatory assessments for nanomaterials by offering a common understanding of measurement techniques. The OECD welcomes all stakeholders to provide feedback on the document's content.
