NIA on Nanotechnology Regulation

Released on Saturday 1st September 2007

This month’s issue of ENDS Europe Report features an article that explores the debate about policies and regulation that surrounds nanotechnology in Europe. The article tries to capture the debate from various different angles, by quoting the – sometimes opposing - opinions of experts and committees.

Dr Steffi Friedrichs, Director of the Nanotechnology Industries Association, stresses that all its members ‘have a policy to have safety come first. […] Products whose safety cannot be sufficiently assessed are not brought to market. […] it is product, not nanoparticle, safety that matters.’
