Companies need to provide more data on nanoforms 24 February 2020 ECHA has so far received a low number of registration dossiers for nanomaterials. By 1 January 2020, only 36 substances covering nanoforms have been registered according to the updated REACH requirements – 10 % of what the Agency expected. News More news RSS 14 February 2020 European Commission asks for scientific advice on safety of nanomaterials used in cosmetics The European Commission has requested the SCCS for advice on the safety of nanomaterials used in cosmetics to establish a priority list for risk assessment and to assess if a potential risk can be identified. 6 February 2020 Practical advice for companies registering nanoforms The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is hosting a webinar to present key lessons learnt and best practices for companies registering the nanoforms of their substances under the REACH Regulation. The event takes place on 24 February 2020. 29 January 2020 Apply for capacity building and training at the JRC nanobiotechnology laboratory The EU’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) has published a call to access its nanobiotechnology laboratory for training and capacity building. The call is open to applicants from enlargement and integration countries and it is open from 16 January to 16 March 2020. Nanomaterials and health Nanomaterials and health Are substances in nanoforms more dangerous than they are in their normal size? Some are and some are not. Just like any other chemical substance, nanomaterials have to be assessed separately. Fighting cancer using nanotechnology Nanomaterials are not only used in consumer products, but also in new and innovative medical treatments. Research has shown that nanoparticles can be used to damage and even destroy cancer cells from within.
