Regulation
The NanoEthicsBank collects examples of laws governing the use of nanomaterials, as well as publications outlining how developments in the regulation of engineered nanomaterials is influencing their use in manufacturing and in consumer products. Below is a list of government agency websites and seminal reports discussing the regulation of nanotechnologies both in the U.S. and internationally.
United States
EPA – Control of Nanomaterials Under the Toxic Substances Control Act
This page summarizes the latest developments of how the Toxic Substances Control Act is being applied to engineered nanomaterials.
Food and Drug Administration- Nanotechnology
This web page summarizes some of the FDA’s main activities in the field of nanotechnology, including the Nanotechnology Task Force report from July 2007. Recent news from all major U.S. government agencies can also be found in the Federal Register (http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/) by doing a keyword search.
Europe
European Commission - Nanomaterials and REACH
This website from the European Commission's Directorate General for for Enterprise and Industry gives an overview of how REACH regulations apply to nanomaterials, and provides links to key publications on this topic.
REACH and the Regulation of Nanotechnology by Bryan Ward and Sarah S. Harley.
This article published in the December 2009 SafeNano Newsletter, discusses how the European Union’s Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation relates to manufactured nanoscale materials, and includes a list of further resources.

Nanotech Regulatory Document Archive
The Nanotech Regulatory Document Archive is a free, searchable database of governmental documents from around the world relating to nanotechnology regulation.
Mapping Study on Regulation and Governance of Nanotechnologies
In January 2009, the FramingNano project, funded under the EU’s FP 7 science and technology program, published this report which summarizes how countries around the world are working to understand and regulate the health, safety, and environmental effects and ethical and societal effects of nanotechnology. The report includes a series of appendixes that give a detailed summary of research initiatives, legislation, national strategies, and guidance documents developed by European nations, as well as the U.S., China, Japan, and Australia.

St Andrews Cross & Stocks... finally
OK, several coats of clear gloss varnish later and the St Andrews Cross is finished.......
I thought I would make this a separate thread from the Toyshop as we won't be selling this little creation on eBay.
I was trying to work out a price and as there is about three hours work in it plus materials, I think I'm going to settle on $80.00AU for it plus the postage which I'm not sure about just yet...... probably about $20.00AU as a ballpark.
So, to the details......
This is an SD cross. It stands about 26 inches tall (66cm), the arms are about 27 inches long (68.5cm), it is 12 inches (30cm) across at the base.
It has a hinged folding arm at the rear which means the Cross can be sort of flattened for storage. The arm angle can be adjusted using a chain which runs from one arm to the folding arm. This will alter the angle that the cross leans on.
There are two eyes on each arm which can be used to attach chains, ropes etc.
It is made from pine which has been stained with a black wood stain and then varnished with a clear gloss so the stain won't come off on to skin.
Some assembly will be required on arrival but you will only need a small flat head and a small phillips screwdriver.
If you want one, PM me and I'll make you one
Paypal or money order is fine if you are outside Australia,bjd dolls, bank deposit as well if you are in Aust.
I suppose I had better shut up and show the pics now........ you'll have to forgive some of the camera angles.
