In Europe, the current recommendation of a definition for nanomaterial dates back to 2011. A new recommendation was published in 2022, however, it has not been enforced yet by any current EU regulation. Moreover, many EU agencies and bodies have their own definition for nanomaterials, notwithstanding the cosmetics regulation.

What they argued
This submission concerns multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) covered by the harmonised CLP entry for multi-walled carbon tubes with a geometric tube diameter 30 nm to 3:1, classified as Carcinogenicity Category 1B (H350i, inhalation) and STOT RE 1 (lung). Our comments address how any future Annex XVII restriction can most effectively and proportionately manage the associated inhalation risk in practice.
