38982 2014 eng 1 74 report The NanoDefine Consortium Wageningen, The Netherlands The NanoDefine Consortium 0 -- -- -- The EU FP7 NanoDefine project was launched in November 2013 and will run until October 2017. The Project is dedicated to support the implementation of the EU Recommendation on the Definition of Nanomaterial by the provision of the required analytical tools and respective guidance. Main goal is to develop a novel tiered approach consisting of (i) rapid and cost-efficient screening methods and (ii) confirmatory measurement methods. The "NanoDefiner" eTool will guide potential end-users, such as concerned industries and regulatory bodies as well as enforcement and contract laboratories, to reliably classify if a material is nano or not. To achieve this objective, a comprehensive inter-laboratory evaluation of the performance of current characterisation techniques, instruments and software is performed. Instruments, software and methods are further developed. Their capacity to reliably measure the size of particulates in the size range 1-100 nm and above (according to the EU definition) is validated. Technical reports on project results are published to reach out to relevant stakeholders, such as policy makers, regulators, industries and the wider scientific community, to present and discuss our goals and results, to ensure a continuous exchange of views, needs and experiences obtained from different fields of expertise and application, and to finally integrate the resulting feedback into our ongoing work on the size-related classification of nanomaterials. http://www.nanodefine.eu/index.php/downloads/nanodefine-technical-reports urn:nbn:de:kobv:b43-389827 Allgemeines Deutsches Urheberrecht Vasile-Dan Hodoroaba Johannes Mielke eng uncontrolled Nanomaterial eng uncontrolled Measurement method eng uncontrolled Screening methods eng uncontrolled Confirmatory methods Analytische Chemie Datei für die Öffentlichkeit verfügbar ("Open Access") Graue Literatur Wissenschaftliche Artikel der BAM Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) https://opus4.kobv.de/opus4-bam/files/38982/NanoDefine_TechnicalReport_D7.2_PUBLIC.pdf
