The purpose of the Group Assessing Already Registered Nanomaterials (GAARN) was to build a consensus in an informal setting on the best practice for assessing and managing the safety of nanomaterials (NMs) under the REACH Regulation, and thereby increase confidence and mutual understanding among stakeholders so that NMs can be sustainably developed and used. The GAARN group consisted of several experts from the Member States, the European Commission, ECHA and industry. The group selected three registration dossiers that include nanoforms or NMs, and reviewed and exchanged views on the challenges faced by registrants in making sure that their registration dossiers meet the REACH information requirements in the areas of physicochemical properties and substance identity, human health and environmental hazards, and exposure and risk assessment, specifically for these nanoforms. GAARN discussed the best practice for each selected registered NM and developed recommendations on how to fill potential information gaps. This report summarises the outcomes of the third (and last) GAARN meeting. This meeting was held in Helsinki on 30 September 2013 and focused on discussing the approach and challenges faced by participant registrants when documenting the human health and environmental exposure assessment and risk characterisation of their substances while registering them under REACH. The outcomes of this discussion can be viewed as generic recommendations for the exposure assessment and risk characterisation of NMs under REACH, while considering the present scientific knowledge on the field of nanotoxicology and practice, as well as challenges from participating registrants
