Importance of Environment, Health & Safety for Engineered Nanoparticles for Nanomanufactured Products
FP7 EHS R&D For Nanotechnology • Large amount of EC funding deployed ~ €150 million (10% of NMP Nanotechnology Unit budget) • 33 projects and large multi-disciplinary community sharing knowledge and materials creating a new field of science • Strong potential to contribute to the development of new metrology methods and key standards • Lack of awareness of standards activities amongst nanotechnology R& I Project teams and vice versa

Recommendations for Nano EHS Metrology Focus on:- • Implementation of the Nanosafety Cluster’s strategy • Development of an “Innovation pathway” for EHS Projects • Establishment of centre(s) of excellence in EHS • Integration of EHS research with industrial priorities through the activities of the NANOFUTURES European Technology Platform (ETP)* Note: * NANOFUTURES integrates needs of 12 industry sectors
Recommendations for Nano EHS Standards • Specific funding for translational work to enable continuation after a project has finished to support standards development • Development of common data bases for information sharing plus specific funding to develop underlying data structure (e.g. for toxicity or exposure data) • Consider all currents work is concerned with 1st generation nanomaterials. Translation of this work to standards and planning for 2nd, 3rd & 4th generation nanomaterials should be prioritised
Knowledge Value Chain Horizon 2020 - 3 Pillar Structure
Concluding thoughts • Velocity of creation of new value chains defines competitivity for emergent technologies • Rapid creation of new metrology methods and standards are essential for delivering emergent technologies to application in a timely manner • FP7 Nano EHS research in risk management for engineered nanoparticles needs to be converted into policy and regulatory testing during Horizon 2020 • NMP has been developing a coherent policy for metrology and standards together with Member States National Metrology Institutes since FP4
