REACH: Precision on nanoforms registration

.
.
.

While only 150 nanoforms are registered in REACH to date (half as many as in the French r-nano register), ECHA has published an update of the support document for the registration and identification of substances in nano form.
Key changes include additional guidance on joint data submission, clarification regarding the need for one data set per nanoform/set of nanoforms, and information on registration of sets of nanoforms versus individual nanoforms.

Changes to the appendix are limited to sections 2 and 5 of the updated guide.

Training
  • E-learning program: awareness-raising for personnel who come into contact with nanomaterials during research, formulation, production, maintenance, cleaning, upkeep, etc., as well as safety coordinators or engineers, facility managers, heads of laboratories where nanoparticles are handled.
  • Organizers: INSTN Grenoble (CEA)
  • On the program:
    • 1 – Introduction, definition and characteristics of nanomaterials
    • 2 – Toxicity of nanomaterials: the state of knowledge
    • 3 – Metrology and characterization of nanomaterials
    • 4 – Prevention and protection against nanomaterials in the workplace
    • 5 – Quiz: assessment of learning outcomes
  • The 2-hour course can be viewed for one month from the date of registration.
