Nanotechnology provides a growing range of opportunities for industry to improve product performance beyond what could be achieved using conventional technologies. The tools and information necessary for assessing product safety often lag behind the dynamic pace of innovation. The OECD leads international efforts to improve global understanding of the responsible development of nanotechnology, and is an effective forum within which industry and governments exchange on the right nanotech policies going forward.
Our Nanotechnology Expert Group contributes to the work of the following OECD bodies:
- OECD Chemicals and Biotechnology Committee
- OECD Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials
- OECD Working Party on Biotechnology, Nanotechnology and Converging Technologies
