Nanomaterials — Preparation of safety data sheets (SDS)

ISO/TR 13329:2012 provides guidance on the development of content for, and consistency in, the communication of information on safety, health and environmental matters in safety data sheets (SDS) for substances classified as manufactured nanomaterials and for chemical products containing manufactured nanomaterials. It provides supplemental guidance to ISO 11014:2009 on the preparation of SDSs generally, addressing the preparation of an SDS for both manufactured nanomaterials with materials and mixtures containing manufactured nanomaterials.

Nanomatériaux — Préparation des fiches de données de sécurité (FDS)

L'ISO/TR 13329:2012 donne des lignes directrices pour fournir des informations cohérentes sur la sécurité, la santé et l'environnement dans des fiches de données de sécurité (FDS) concernant des substances classées en tant que nanomatériaux manufacturés et des produits chimiques contenant des nanomatériaux manufacturés. Il fournit des lignes directrices complémentaires de l'ISO 11014:2009 sur la préparation des FDS en général, en traitant la préparation d'une fiche de données de sécurité (FDS) à la fois pour un (des) nanomatériau(x) manufacturé(s) avec des matériaux et des mélanges contenant des nanomatériaux manufacturés.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Introduction
Manufactured nanomaterials are defined as materials that are intentionally produced to have specific
properties or a specific composition and which have any external dimension in the nanoscale or internal
structure or surface structure in the nanoscale. This document is not a stand-alone document and should
[1]
be used in conjunction with ISO 11014. This document takes into account the Globally harmonized system
of classification and labelling of chemicals (GHS) document on hazard communication, i.e. safety data sheets.
The GHS was developed by the United Nations and is being incorporated into the laws of various regions and
nations, many of which already have laws that govern the preparation of SDSs.
Currently, there is limited information on the possible hazards of some nanomaterials. In some cases,
the degree of risk to workers or others who can be exposed to nanomaterials is partly unknown, as the
possible toxicological effects of nanomaterials are not yet well known and exposure is difficult to measure.
Most hazard information and communication approaches necessitate preparation of an SDS for hazardous
chemicals, including those containing nanomaterials, for use in manufacture, storage, transport or other
occupational handling activities. Yet, only a few SDSs contain specific information about nanomaterials
or are specific to nanomaterials. Those that exist generally provide insufficient hazard information (see
Reference [2]). There is evidence that some nanomaterials can be more hazardous, e.g. more bio-reactive
or active, leading to higher toxicity, than the same material in bulk (non-nanoscale) form. Characteristics
predictive of potential safety issues or toxicity for manufactured nanomaterials need to be determined and
included in the preparation of an SDS. Within the European Union and the UK, the legislation that addresses
industrial substances including nanomaterials specifies that hazardous substances and mixtures are
accompanied by an SDS when placed on the market.
The most fundamental ethical responsibility faced by manufacturers is to make users aware that
nanomaterials have been added to a product and to communicate, in an SDS, the hazards the product
can present and the most effective ways to mitigate those hazards, relying on the hierarchy of controls.
The hierarchy of controls is a method that is found in nearly every international guidance document on
responsible management of nanomaterials. This document considers the precautionary approach in terms of
toxicity and other risks associated with nanomaterials. It recommends providing an SDS for nanomaterials
and nanomaterial-containing products, regardless of whether or not the material is classified as hazardous,
unless there are existing data for the nanomaterial which demonstrates that it is non-hazardous, or if it is
not envisaged that they can be released as nano-objects, or their agglomerates and aggregates greater than
100 nm (NOAA), during handling or use.
