The 3rd webinar in the series of MACRAMÉ Webinars on Harmonisation, Standardisation & Validation of Test- and Characterisation Methods focussed on the topic Overcoming issues in regulatory testing of advanced materials.
The webinar organised by MACRAMÉ attracted over 40 international experts. A general introduction to standardisation and harmonisation of safety testing methods was provided. This training included an overview of the standardisation landscape, insights in the OECD documents and the process to develop OECD Test Guidelines. Then challenges in environmental and human health testing of advanced materials were shared with the audience. The participants were also invited to share their experiences via Mentimeter and interactive discussions during the webinar. Lessons learned from the work with nanomaterials were presented and are useful for the work towards safety testing methods for advanced materials. Potential solutions identified in MACRAMÉ to overcome the challenges in environmental and human health testing of advanced materials were explained.
