Manufactured nanomaterial types and characteristics
Nanoparticle exposure and risk
Approaches to managing risks from nanoparticles
Life cycle analysis
Principles of risk assessment
Risk evaluation
Control of exposure
Measurement of exposure
Process considerations
Fire and explosion risk
Spillages and accidental releases

Packaging, labelling and transportation
Emergency response
Communications and training

An organisation wishing to become accredited will be mentored through the requirements of the accreditation methodology via the provision of five man-days of supervisory consultant support.

Accreditation may be on a business unit or plant basis, whichever is the more applicable. However, multiple businesses on a single site will require multiple accreditations.
