The European Commission updated the common definition of the term “nanomaterial<\/span>” in 2022:<\/p>\n

‘Nanomaterial’ means a natural, incidental or manufactured material consisting of solid particles that are present, either on their own or as identifiable constituent particles in aggregates<\/span> or agglomerates<\/span>, and where 50% or more of these particles in the number-based size distribution fulfil at least one of the following conditions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. one or more external dimensions of the particle are in the size range 1 nm to 100 nm;<\/li>\n
  2. the particle has an elongated shape, such as a rod, fibre or tube, where two external dimensions are smaller than 1 nm and the other dimension is larger than 100 nm;<\/li>\n
  3. the particle has a plate-like shape, where one external dimension is smaller than 1 nm and the other dimensions are larger than 100 nm.<\/li>\n
  4. In the determination of the particle number-based size distribution, particles with at least two orthogonal external dimensions larger than 100 μm need not be considered.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    However, a material with a specific surface area by volume of < 6 m2<\/sup>\/cm3<\/sup> shall not be considered a nanomaterial.<\/p>\n
