FDA Publishes Draft Nanotechnology Guidelines, Invites Feedback

June 22, 2011

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published “Draft Guidance for Industry, Considering Whether an FDA-Regulated Product Involves the Application of Nanotechnology,” and is asking for feedback from the industrial and public sectors. The draft guidelines present a list of criteria — including the size and properties of nanomaterials used — to help determine whether nanotechnology is used in a FDA-regulated product.  (Textile World)
