OECD publishes revision of nanomaterial testing guide

The OECD has published the first revision of the Guidance Manual for the Testing of Manufactured Nanomaterials; the document includes an annex on a data-sharing template format and one on alternative test methods. The document is intended to support the testing undertaken in the context of OECD’s nanomaterial Sponsorship Programme and to ensure that the information collected is reliable, accurate and consistent. The guidance, which is a “living” document, will be updated and amended in an iterative manner, says OECD.
