Synopsis

The MACRAMÉ experts are delighted to share their achievements with experts working at the intersection of materials innovation and regulatory compliance. The project has advanced characterisation methodologies to assess and predict the health and environmental risks of advanced materials.

This virtual event is designed for among others
  • Regulators integrating new methods into regulatory frameworks
  • OECD representatives exploring future Test Guidelines
  • Scientists developing methods for safety and sustainability assessments
  • Industry professionals, Contract Research Organisations, and Small and Mediumg Enterprises targeting regulatory compliance
  • Standardisation bodies defining new testing standards
MACRAMÉ’s achievements

MACRAMÉ developed and demonstrated novel methodologies and advanced their harmonisation & standardisation. The project focussed on three MACRAMÉ Material Families of inhalable carbon-based AdMas of various morphologies and dimensions beyond spherical particles. It includes unsolved detection and characterisation issues, especially in complex media.

You will gain
  • Up-to-date Assessments: Comprehensive overview of latest test method developments
  • Future Roadmapping: Strategic pathways to address critical gaps in harmonized testing standards
  • Stakeholder Input: Direct opportunities to influence the development of next-generation testing frameworks.
Preliminary Agenda
  1. Interdisciplinary connections
    Key outcomes towards interfacing communities and streamlining methodological approaches to assess potential risks of advanced materials
  2. Exposure points and sampling
    Assessment of market-relevant points of exposure resulting in and representative sampling along the lifecycle of five MACRAMÉ Use-Cases
  3. Characterisation 
    Development & harmonisation of methodological approaches for the identification, physico-chemical characterisation and quantification of advanced materials in complex matrices
  4. Toxicity Tests 
    Development of new advanced methodologies & harmonisation of existing methodological approaches for human and environmental hazard characterisation of advanced materials in complex matrices
  5. Hazard Assessment
    Key results to foster regulatory acceptability of methods and methodologies for the physico-chemical and hazard characterisation of advanced materials in complex matrices
  6. Data connections
    Established improved data-reporting guidelines and harmonised, FAIR data for the characterisation of advanced materials in complex matrices at different lifecycle stages
  7. Translation into standards and OECD documents
    Achievements towards the translation of detection, characterisation and test methods and combined novel methodological approaches into standards and OECD Test Guidelines
