ECHA Announces IUCLID User Manual Updated for Nanomaterials

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) announced on February 28, 2013, that the International Uniform Chemical Information Database (IUCLID) user manual for nanomaterials has been updated. See http://echa.europa.eu/view-article/-/journal_content/title/the-iuclid-user-manual-for-nanomaterials-has-been-updated According to ECHA, the updated manual allows registrants to select the form of the test material used in all study summaries reported in their dossiers, and "nanomaterial" is one of the available options. The manual provides instructions on how to structure information on different forms of the registered substance in a consistent and coherent manner. ECHA states that the updated manual also includes references and links to recent guidance updates for nanomaterials published on the ECHA website, as well as links to recent reports from projects, such as the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Implementation Projects on Nanomaterials (RIP-oN) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials.
