Description: The objective of the project Scientific technical support on assessment of nanomaterials in REACH registration dossiers and adequacy of available information ('NANO SUPPORT') is to evaluate how the risk and safety of nanomaterials have been assessed in selected REACH registration dossiers, and based on this, to develop a set of possible options for modifications to the current REACH provisions to better address nanomaterials. The results of the first tasks have already been published, in March 2012. The aim of the current work that forms the basis of this report has been to conduct an examination and assessment of the consequences for industry, consumers, human health and the environment if these options for modifications of REACH are implemented. Important elements of the applied methodology for this assessment include: - Development of a baseline scenario and investigation of the relevance of discussed options in close collaboration with a Project Steering Group. - Identification of suitable case studies and assessment of economic, health, environmental and societal impacts of all options for these case studies. For this purpose the project team gathered data from expert interviews, stakeholder responses, its own investigations and from literature. The methodology followed the EU Guidelines for Impact Assessments of 2009. A time frame of 10 years from the year 2012 to 2022 was considered and adopted. - Extrapolation of the case studies results in an estimation of the impacts of different options to the total 'market for nanomaterials'. This takes into account the future market structure and the different information requirements for the respective tonnage bands of the registered nanomaterials. In the course of this project it became apparent that only 9 of the 21 originally proposed modification options would be subject to the assessment. The other 12 options need to be regarded as already implicitly part of current REACH requirements, or are addressed by following the advice provided by experts of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), however, not representing an official ECHA position. The total costs for implementing the 9 options amount to between €11 million and €73 million as a cumulative effort for all concerned companies for a time period until 2022. The split of total costs on single options shows big differences between options with high or medium efforts, and hence high or medium costs, and options with no or very little additional costs.
