Our Objectives

Uniting the Nanomaterials Ecosystem

The NIA actively shapes global regulatory standards, advocating for scientifically sound and implementable regulations. We ensure members stay ahead of regulatory policy by providing comprehensive updates on the changing landscape of the regulatory arena, facilitating compliance and implementation. The NIA’s advocacy ensures that current and planned regulations align with the industry’s scientific advancements and economic maturity, distinguishing between engineered, incidental, and naturally occurring nanomaterials. We remain committed to helping regulators and the industry establish optimal standards and regulatory frameworks for continued innovation that is both commercially sustainable and environmentally safe.

NIA members can contribute to the NIA’s strategy and work in regulations and standards through active participation in our activities and by working with the executive and the NIA Regulatory Committee to shape our positions.
