Seller’s Guide for Nanomaterials and Graphene

For many years, nanotechnologies have been left unregulated. Companies did not have to comply with legal frameworks that require a sound understanding of definitions, scope of application and regulatory requirements.   That has now changed. 

Legal provisions have been adopted, mostly at the European Union level and some EU Member States and essentially without any consistency between the different legal instruments applying to nanotechnologies. This sellers’ guide mainly focusses on the legal frameworks existing in the European Union and its Member States. This is the part of the world where companies currently face the most complex legal challenges to gain access to the market and stay on the market.

This guide does not forget to cover other parts of the world, namely the United States, China, India, Japan and Australia. Though these countries have so far showed less interest in creating legal frameworks for nanotechnologies than the European Union and its Member States, readers must be aware that current trends in non-EU countries converge towards the adoption of rules that may soon or later impact the readers’ business.

The guide covers:

• The EU Commission’s definition of nanomaterials
• EHS regulations on nanotechnology and graphene
• Labelling requirements for nanotechnology and graphene
• Product claims and marketing of products containing graphene or other nanomaterials
• Protection of trade and technical secrets
• Nanomaterials registers in France, Denmark, Belgium (  Scope, declarations, sanctions)
• What do you need in place to sell graphene in the European Union?
• Regulatory frameworks in the USA and Asia
• Conclusions

The purpose of this guide is to point out the current obligations that every company selling nanotechnologies must fulfil.  Readers must merely be aware that many legal changes are expected to take place during the next years. This guide aims at helping companies to meet the current challenges and anticipate the next ones.  Such as:

A new Belgian law applying from 1 January 2016 requires notification before importing or placing the nanomaterial on the market; there are substantial fines of up to €720,000 and even criminal sanctions for failures to notify. 

The guide has been written by Del Stark and Anthony Bochon.

The guide costs £500.

A huge platform for next generation technologies
(NEW: Robotics Zone)
nano tech is co-located with 10 other exhibitions, which
all together form an impressive platform for cutting edge technologies.

Printed Electronics - flexible and low-cost, next generation electronics
Neo functional materials - materials for printing, converting and beyond
ASTEC/SURTECH - a merger of traditional and cutting-edge surface technologies
ENEX/Smart Energy Japan - latest technologies for smarter and greener energy.
3D Printing - additive manufacturing, applied bottom-up technolgy for the macroscale.
For the first time, there will be a special zone for robot technologies.
Key words:
Actuators, Sensors, cyber-physical systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT) Machine to Machine comunication (M2M), Artficial Intelligence (AI), Industrial robots, Service robots etc.
This exhibition is aiming to contribute to the rapid progress and market growth
of robot technology in the coming IoT era and it promotes the vision of a future
sustained by nanotechnology’s cutting-edge materials and processing techniques.
