"Nanotechnology refers to research and technology development at the atomic, molecular, and macromolecular levels aimed at creating and using structures, devices, and systems that have novel properties and functions because of their small size."

Mary McKiel, EPA Standards Executive

Mission

Our mission is to work with nanotechnology developers to ensure that their nanotechnology innovations are not toxic to people, animals, and the environment.

The experts on our multinational Science Advisory Board facilitate our multi-tiered approach. We not only efficiently test the safety of nanotechnology applications but can also assist in eliminating toxicity if found.

We provide clear, strong assurance that products which pass our vigorous tests are safe for the worldwide marketplace.
