For activites related to chemicals and raw materials NIA is actively promoting networking and provides bespoke and up-to-date intelligence and news articles. NIA is an acredited stakeholder to the European Chemicals Agency and is an Observer to the European Commission Competent Authority Subgroup on Nanomaterials (CASG-Nano). As part of its preparation to attend meetings NIA is consulting with its Members on topics that are raised for discussion.
At NIA, we proactively support the development of key-enabling machinery and metrology equipment and methodologies by creating an environment, in which these state-of-the-art innovations are regarded as solutions and opportunities.
With its large network and track record in proactive, collaborative approaches with the regulators, the NIA works with the regulators to address the stakeholders' concerns in pushing for the reporting of nanomaterials, whilst avoiding undue burden on the industries.
In the area or recycling and waste from nanomaterials NIA is supporting its Members by participating and reporting back from relevant events and workshops (e.g. the OECD workshop on Safe Management of Nanowaste where aspects related to nanomaterial recycling and waste handling aspects are discussed.
NIA Members active in the textile industries are supported through several existing NIA Activities & Projects; in collaboration with its Members as well as external stakeholders, NIA frequently initiates new bespoke projects.
