REFINE PROJECT follows the latest EC published Report on the definition of nanomaterials.

The European Commission has recently published in the JRC Science for Policy Report journal, An overview of concepts and terms used in the European Commission’s definition of nanomaterial. The report addresses its key concepts and terms and discusses them in a regulatory context. Corresponding to the broad scope of the definition the considerations in this report can be applied across all relevant legislative areas; they are not specific to any particular piece of legislation. The report provides recommendations for a harmonised and coherent implementation of the nanomaterial definition in any specific regulatory context at European Union and national level.
