HomeStudy to assess the impact of possible legislation to increase transparency on nanomaterials on the market
Evaluation report, building blocks report and options assessment report
Publication metadata
This report is one of several outcomes of a study on transparency measures on nanomaterials within the EU. To date, two relevant register-like schemes – both concerning nanomaterials and operating within the EU – have been established: the French Notification System (FNS) and the Cosmetic Products Notification Portal (CPNP). Meanwhile, other transparency measures have been established or proposed by EU states. Clearly, lessons can be learned from these measures, and as such this report aims to evaluate their pros and cons, successes and failures, and to ensure that this information is fully utilised in the future identification and development of any EU wide solution. It contains: - A review of the legislation underpinning transparency measures in the European Union; - Findings from a key stakeholder meeting, run as part of the project; - Analysis of publically available information about the FNS (with support from Cefic, the NIA and their members) – including analysis of the substances for which notifications to the FNS were made and comparison of the list with the ECHA registered substances database and the Classification and Labelling Inventory; - The results of an online survey, run as part of the project, of company views on the financial and administrative burdens associated with notification; Information from questionnaires sent to the French authorities and DG SANCO; - Analysis of the debate in France concerning the notification system; and - The feedback from stakeholders (industry, authorities and NGOs) on the preliminary results of the study as presented during the Validation Workshop held in Brussels on 30 June 2014.
