Abstract
The French National Measurement Institute (LNE) has initiated a series of events to identify priorities for test methods and their harmonisation that directly address regulatory needs in Nanomedicine. The workshop entitled "The International Standardisation Roadmap for Nanomedicine" held in October 2023 (Paris, France) brought together key experts in the characterisation of nanomedicines and medical products containing nanomaterials, including the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, SINTEF Industry and the metrology institutes of France, the UK, the USA and Canada. The participants also included representatives from two flagship initiatives of the European Commission that support innovation in nanotechnology-based health products (PHOENIX and SAFE-n-MEDTECH Open Innovation Test Beds), representatives of the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines (EDQM) and members of international standardisation and pre-normative organisations (including CEN, ISO, ASTM, VAMAS). The event provided a unique opportunity for the 74 participants, predominantly from industry, to deliberate on how Open Innovation Test Beds (OITBs), metrology institutes and the standardisation community could support and accelerate the commercialisation of nanomedicine-based products. It also served as a platform to gain insights into ongoing initiatives and to advocate for a more active role of the European Metrology community in fostering connections among the diverse stakeholders involved.
