Document Title:Guidance on Sample Preparation and Dosimetry for the Safety Testing of Manufactured Nanomaterials
url:http://www.oecd.org/officialdocuments/displaydocument/?cote=env/jm/mono(2012)40&doclanguage=en
Scope:

The unique properties of manufactured nanomaterials have raised the question as to whether the current OECD Test Guidelines are adequate to appropriately address their characterisation and the assessment of their toxicological properties. Since it was recognised that there is a need to develop a guidance document on sample preparation and dosimetry, to which special attention should be paid in using test guidelines when considering the chemical and physical characteristics of nanomaterials, the first
version of the guidance document, Preliminary Guidance Notes on Sample Preparation and Dosimetry for the Safety Testing of Manufactured Nanomaterials ENV/JM/MONO(2010)25 was published in May 2010.

Keywords:OECD, WPMN, preparation, dosimetry, characterization, media, regulatory
Type of Document:c. Guideline
Issues Areas:Measurement and Characterizations
Primary Category:Chemicals e.g. pesticides, pharmaceuticals, paints, basic chemicals
Additional CategoriesGeneral Industry/Manufacturing; Food e.g. Preserving/Specialty food manufacturing; Personal care
Goal or Need:To help prepare nanomaterials for use in toxicological and ecotoxicological tests.
Intended Stakeholders:The primary audience are those preparing and reviewing materials used in testing for regulatory purposes. There is likely to be general interest in the nanotechnology community.
Is it Being Implemented:It may be used to guide the preparation of materials used in tests for regulatory purposes.
