The NIA’s Director of Regulatory Affairs presented the recently published OECD Report on Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD): Tools, Integrative Systems and Platforms for Nanomaterials and Nano-Enabled Products, released in December 2025. The NIA contributed actively to the review of tools, methodologies, and platforms supporting SSbD implementation in the nanotechnology sector.
The presentation included a case study illustrating the application of one such tool to the development of an advanced nanomaterial. These tools are now part of the Substitution and Alternatives Assessment Toolbox for Chemicals and Nanomaterials (SAAToolbox), hosted by the OECD.
The webinar attracted 206 participants, and the recording will be made available by the OECD Secretariat in due course.
Further information is available to NIA Members.
