Assured Nano - The benefits

The benefits

Accreditation to AssuredNano™ demonstrates to all stakeholders that your organisation takes nanomaterial SHE seriously and is committed to the adoption and maintenance of good current practice. The fact that it is designed by industrially experienced SHE experts means that it promotes a commonsense approach to SHE.

AssuredNano is the first comprehensive nanomaterial SHE Accreditation Scheme featuring annual compliance auditing.

The AssuredNano Accreditation Scheme is the only accreditation scheme which is all-embracing, covering all facets of a nanomaterial or nano-enabled product’s life including

Management of manufacturing risk and exposure
Loss of containment
Packaging and transportation
Life cycle analysis
Disposal or recycle

The AssuredNano Accreditation Scheme is the only accreditation scheme which is annually audited for compliance. Annual compliance audits demonstrate not only adherence to SHE good current practice, but also a commitment to continuous SHE improvement, reflecting progressively evolving nanomaterial SHE knowledge. Success in the rigorous annual audit is not however a given, the credibility of the AssuredNano scheme
will be maintained by the power to de-register organisations which cease to demonstrate adequate compliance with the audit protocol.

The AssuredNano Accreditation Scheme is the only accreditation scheme underpinned by the technical expertise of the world renowned Institute of Occupational Medicine.
