The Swedish Chemicals Agency (KEMI), on December 1, 2015, proposed mandatory reporting of nanomaterials in chemicals products. This would include reporting of intentionally added nanomaterials in most chemical products, but nanomaterials in articles (per REACH definition) would be excluded from the reporting requirements.

The Swedish Chemicals Agency proposes that companies should have a duty to report if chemical products contain nanomaterials. The aim of this proposal is to improve knowledge about which nanomaterials there are on the Swedish market.

Sweden is one of several EU member states that has or is planning to implement nanomaterial reporting requirements. The full report leading up to the KEMI proposal is available on the KEMI website.
