TY - RPRT AB - Chemicals legislation is largely harmonisedwithin the European Union (EU), but even though nanomaterials have been in use for decades, they are often not specifically addressed in legislation. Information about how and where they are used on the EU market, and in what quantities, is scarce. As no common EU-wide nano-registry is in sight for the near future, many member states have launched national mandatory registries. The first such nano-registry was introduced in France in 2013, with four countries in the European Union and the European Economic Area (EEA) having since followed suit. Whilst the prevention of risks to human health and the environment is central to all national nano-registries, differences can be found with regard to the required information or the timing of registration.
