Back in July 2007, the Royal Society, Insight Investment,
the Nanotechnology Industries Association and the Nanotechnology Knowledge
Transfer Network launched "Responsible NanoCode" – an initiative for
businesses working with nanotechnologies (Responsible nanotechnology code for
business to be developed).
After a public consultation and several rounds of meetings,
the Working Group of the Responsible Nano Code has finalized the Seven
Principles of the Code for Responsible Nanotechnology and a series of Examples
of Good Practice. These Examples will be the starting point for a more detailed
Benchmarking Framework, which will used to independently assess the extent to
which organizations involved in the research, production, retail and disposal
of products using nanotechnologies are operating according to the Code. This
Framework will be developed over the next 5 months.
