BAuA research agenda 2020: Advanced materials
• concepts und methods for an early detection of hazards and risks• prinziples for „safety by design"• adequate OSH in an early stage of material innovation• build-up of a systematic consultation of institutions and start-up enterprises
in material science
safe and sustainable development
• approved safe and standardised working procedures• adaption of REACH information and testing requirements to health risks from
respirable biopersistent particles• good information along supply chains
safe use in life-cycle

Application safety of advanced materials and products
•safe material design to avoid hazardous properties
direct application safety
• safe product design to avoid release of particles
integrated application safety
• safe workplace design to avoid health and environmental risks
supported application safety

How can we support start-ups in the development of safe and sustainable advanced materials?
Good Governance needs trust
→ Collaboration in governance-networks • sharing resources• generating new knowledge • developing rules for the safe development
of (certain) nanomaterials

Existing networks
Individual actors(Start-ups, scientists, regulators etc.)
Setting up new network (BAuA as central „network manager“)
Proposal for a supporting structure for the safe and sustainable development of nano-scale and other advanced materials
Evaluation
Project start: November 2015Duration (initially): 4 years
Project aims:Develop robust concept in form of supporting structure for startups:
1. prepare fulfilling relevant legal obligations (REACH, OSH) 2. enable contribution to regulatory process (“soft” to
“hard(ened)” regulation → legal certainty)

Projects “Safe nanocarbons“
• in-vivo studies on selected advanced nanocarbons (SWCNT, MWCNT, CNH, graphene, ...)
Mode of toxic action of nanocarbons (started, 2015 – 18)
• i.a. improvement of new methods for determination of fibre rigidity
Dustiness and particle morphology of nanocarbons (started, 2015 – 2018)
• Determination of potential for release and toxicological assessment of respirable particles and fibres in different working processes
Safety in life-cycle of nanocarbons (planned)
• Proposal for an amendment of current recommendation BekGS 527 „Manufactured nanomaterials“, i.a. „nanocarbon map“, „risk matrix“
Risk management map for handling nanocarbons at the workplace (planned)
