1 Nanotechnologies Standardization activities supporting safe and sustainable development of innovative nanotechnology Phys-chem properties, hazard, risk & life cycle assessment Societal concerns, for a safe a sustainable innovation Pr. Emeric FREJAFON Coordinator NanoReg2 & EC4SafeNano Chairman of the CEN TC 352 OECD WPMN Nat. coordinator Emeric.frejafon@ineris.fr

2 INERIS: French National Institute for Industrial & Environmental Risk Assessment State own private company having >50 years of experience on risk assessment and safety enhancement A staff of 600, including 350 engineers / 80 M /y Full scale facilities (mesocom, animal facilities, battery field test, nano-safety platform, 1000 m 3 chamber) Headquarters extend to 50 ha m² of laboratories More than customers (worldwide) Always ~50 PhD students & 20 Post-doc fellowships A synergy between services for private customers, research activities and technical support for the government, a key player in uncertain regulation where anticipation is a lever

3 Contexte Behave not as a gas, nor particulate mater Ageing effects & transformation surface versus core chemistry Measurands, metrology & measurement : NEW Toxicology descriptors to be adapted Thus routine tools are missing

4 Drivers of safe and sustainable innovation Innovation means risk to be estimated BP, BM & safety Phys-Chem characterization (size, shape, chemistry ) Knowing what we have Hazard (flammability, explosion, dustiness, (eco)toxicology, ) Exposure characterization (workplace, environment ) Knowing their safety characteristics (product, production) Life cycle of products (using, aging & durability) End of Life of products (disposal, incineration, recycling) Socio-Economic analyses (cost-benefice analyses) Knowing their impact on market (product, production, use) Regulatory & Societal awareness Knowing their sustainable capability on the market Risk management for safer by design products/ production/use Awareness for safer & sustainable innovation

5 Standardization purpose terminology and classification, measurement and characterization, health and environmental safety testing, risk assessment and risk management

6 Routes for safe & sustainable innovation Relevant tools, protocols & processes : To support innovation / knowledge properties, functionalities To support B2B exchanges claims, quality, competitiveness To support regulation, consumers & environmental concerns Through Standardization activities on nanotechnologies : At DG RTD/ GROW / ENV / REACH. Product regulation At OECD (WPMN, BNCT) Business regulation At ISO, CEN & National Standardization bodies Encourages innovation and technological development Supports businesses in building competitive advantages Supports business compliance with regulation

7 Standardization Nano World

8 CEN TC 352 activities recent outcomes 34 National Standardization Bodies with 13 regular countries 16 standards already published 12 draft standards Establishes generic standards applicable to a wide range of industries Support through liaisons sectorial concerns (technical comities) Nanotechnologies Guidelines for Life Cycle Assessment Application of EN ISO 14044:2006 to Manufactured Nanomaterials Guidance on detection and identification of nano-objects in complex matrices Guidelines for determining protocols for the explosivity and flammability of powders containing nano-objects (for transport, handling and storage) Guidelines for the management and disposal of waste from the manufacturing and processing of manufactured nano-objects Suitability of particle size and surface area measurement methods for the assessment of the amount of nano-objects in a sample

9 CEN TC 352 activities future projects Guidelines for the characterization of additives containing nanoobjects in food products Safe-by-Design concept dedicated for nanomaterials and nano-enable products Risk Assessment and Life Cycle Assessment of Nanomaterials: synergistic use of data for efficient and effective evaluations Quick start guide for deploying a relevant nano risk management Decision trees and flow charts to structure the sensible toxicity and eco-toxicity testing of engineered nanomaterial Nanomaterials - Business to Business traceability for enhancing transparency Service life time estimation of (nano-)materials subjected to particle release Air-liquid interface (ALI) in-vitro model for respiratory toxicology as early warning tool Among several others dealing with instruments
