| Short description: |
A regulatory review of EU legislation in relevant sectors relating to nano-materials: it covers nanomaterials currently in
production and/or placed on the market. In the absence of generally accepted definitions, the
term nanomaterials is used in this Communication to cover commonly used terminology such
as manufactured (or engineered) nano-sized and nanostructured nanomaterials. The
Communication does not address nanomaterials or nanoparticles that occur naturally or are
unintentionally produced, e.g. in combustion.
