1 Joint Research Centre the European Commission's in-house science service Serving society Stimulating innovation Supporting legislation The EU Commission's definition of nanomaterial: implementation and technical challenges Hubert Rauscher Madrid, 30 June 2016
2 JRC Role Facts & Figures The European Commission's science and knowledge service, established 1957 Independent, evidence-based scientific and technical support for many EU policies 6 directorates in 6 locations new structure as of 1 July 2016 [Nano: Directorate for Health, Consumers and Reference Materials, Ispra & Geel] Around 3000 staff, including PhDs and visiting scientists
3 Outline Nanomaterials in EU legislation - Regulatory definition of nanomaterial Challenges for the implementation - how to identify nanomaterials by measurements The NanoDefine project - an integrated approach supporting the implementation of the EC nanomaterial definition
4 Definition of Nanomaterial Regulatory context An EU wide regulatory definition is needed for to classify a class of materials of regulatory interest legal clarity across legislations Recommendation of the European Commission Particulate materials, size is the only criterion (1-100 nm) 50% threshold (based on particle numbers) Derogation for: fullerenes, SWCNT, graphene flakes Volume specific surface area (>60m 2 /cm 3 ) additional possible criterion Review of the definition Conclusions being finalised by the Commission Possible revision
5 Definition of Nanomaterial Implementation Implementation in Regulations Biocides Regulation Medical Devices Regulation (proposal) REACH (Annexes) planned Amendment of existing regulatory nanomaterial definitions Cosmetics Regulation Novel Food Regulation 2015 (see also Food Information Regulation) Guidance for practical implementation in development Size measurement Particle size distribution
6 EU legislation with relevance for nanomaterials Regulatory framework Definition Approval procedure Safety assessment Labelling REACH (Chemicals) Regulation 1907/2006 Biocidal Products Regulation 528/2012 Cosmetic Products Regulation 1223/2009 Novel food Regulation (2015/2283) () Food additives Regulation 1333/2008 Plastic Food Contact Materials Reg. 10/2011 Active & Intelligent FCM Regulation 450/2009 Food Info Provisions Regulation 1169/2011 Medical Devices Proposal COM(2012) 542 Guidance H. Rauscher, Madrid, 30 June 2016
7 Outline Nanomaterials in EU legislation - Regulatory definition of nanomaterial Challenges for the implementation - how to identify nanomaterials by measurements The NanoDefine project - an integrated approach supporting the implementation of the EC nanomaterial definition
8 Some resulting measurement requirements "Nanomaterial" means a natural, incidental or manufactured material containing particles, in an unbound state or as an aggregate or as an agglomerate and where, for 50 % or more of the particles in the number size distribution, one or more external dimensions is in the size range 1 nm nm. Determination of the constituent particles of the material The constituent particles are often aggregated or agglomerated Determination of the external dimensions of the (constituent) particles Address particle size distribution (by number) e.g., Determination whether 50% or more of the particles have an external dimension in the size range nm
9 Example: Size ZnO (NM 110) Method Size measurement on dry powders NM-110 [nm] TEM, Feret average 147 ± 149 SEM, Feret 151 ± 56 Size measurement on suspensions DLS, mean particle size 275 ± 4 CLS (in distilled water) 193 ± 3 XRD (crystallite size) 41.5 The size values are method-defined From: EUR EN Non-spherical, polydisperse, aggregated particles Issues: Representative sample Dispersion Sample preparation Statistical evaluation
10 Methods for measuring particle size distribution (by number) Counting methods (such as electron microscopy) measure particle by particle can provide number based size distribution high number of particle needs to be measured Ensemble methods (such as light scattering) intensity weighted sizes Conversion to number-based size distributions necessary Fractionation methods (such as field flow fractionation) Particles sorted by size can deal with polydisperse samples can be coupled with counting methods

12 Implementation of the EC nanomaterial definition: The need for an integrated and coherent approach Situation Methods have to meet certain requirements nanospecific aspects Available methods cover requirements to varying degree Material type / size range / agglomerates, aggregates / size distributions / No single method covers all requirements for all materials Combination of methods is promising Validated nanospecific methods & reference materials needed Proof that a material is not a nanomaterial (?) The way forward Develop a robust, broadly applicable and widely accepted implementation approach Develop available methods further with a view to the EC NM definition Develop practical guidance EUR EN
13 Outline Nanomaterials in EU legislation - Regulatory definition of nanomaterial Challenges for the implementation - how to identify nanomaterials by measurements The NanoDefine project - an integrated approach supporting the implementation of the EC nanomaterial definition
14 The NanoDefine project Goal: to provide the affected industries and regulatory agencies with the tools that support the implementation of the EC definition of nanomaterial in all relevant regulatory contexts. Definition issues addressed size range nm agglomerates, aggregates complex materials number based size distribution; conversion from other metrics cost-efficiency Objectives Working on real world test materials (industrial raw materials, products) Comparative evaluation of techniques uniform criteria Development, validation, standardisation of key methods; targeted instrument + software improvements Guidance to end-users (manufacturers and regulators)
