Objectives. The Royal Decree concerning the placing of substances produced in nanoparticulate state on the market was signed on the 27th May 2014 [1]. This Royal Decree is based on the one hand on the law of the 21st December 1998 on product standards to promote sustainable production and consumption patterns and on the protection of the environment, public health and workers, and on the other hand on the law of the 4th August 1996 on the well-being of workers in the execution of their works. The creation of the register aims at the following objectives [2]: • ensuring that the evolution of this innovative technology proceeds in harmony with the protection of human health; • acquiring better knowledge of the market, the characteristics of the nanomaterials, the potential risk of human exposure to these substances, and of the speed and extent of the evolution towards more complex nanomaterials; • guaranteeing transparency and strengthening the trust of the public and employees with regard to these substances; • guaranteeing traceability and therefore offering the government the possibility to intervene in case of a risk for the public health or for the safety of employees; • introducing a knowledge base that might be necessary for the future regulatory evolution at national and European level with regard to these substances. Specifically, the register will in particular make it possible to guarantee the traceability of products containing substances produced in nanoparticulate state. The register will: • make efficient intervention possible if a type of nanomaterial turns out to be dangerous to public health; • provide the public authorities competent for the safety of employees with the relevant information in order to be able to carry out their duties concerning information, regulation and control in a targeted manner; • assure, if necessary, that the collected data (non-confidential data or aggregated data) can be made public to inform the public about the increasing presence of nanomaterials on the market, and to avoid misunderstandings and confusion. Additionally, the register should offer the government the possibility to collect key information about the substances produced in nanoparticulate state that are present on the Belgian market in order to: • have a basis for scientific research on the possible toxicity of the various types of substances produced in a nanoparticulate state and, if necessary, be able to focus on the regulations that may be needed to prot...
