NAMS4NANO - Integration of New Approach Methodologies results in chemical risk assessments: Case studies addressing nanoscale considerations

LOT 1: Review of tools and developing a Qualification System

LOT 1 (Review of tools and developing a Qualification System for NAMs) focuses on (i) complementing the EFSA NAMs roadmap with a review of available NAM-based tools and methods for assessing the toxicity of nanoparticles, in particular those developed by recent EU Research projects, and (ii) developing and implementing a proposal for a “fit for purpose qualification system for NAMs” aimed at facilitating the regulatory use of NAM tools and methods.

The project coordinator is Andrea Haase of the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR, Germany). ISS participates as a partner. Besides ISS, the other partners are:

  • French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES, France)
  • Sciensano (Belgium)
  • National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM, The Netherlands)
  • Food Safety Research, Wageningen Research Foundation (WFSR, The Netherlands)
  • Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST, Luxembourg)

The Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Experimental Medicine (ITEM, Germany) contributes as subcontractor. The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) contributes as international external partner. The European Commission Joint Research Centre (EC-JRC, Italy) will contribute to the project as external partner.
