Ms. Bergeson serves on a number of domestic and international nanotechnology standard setting and governance committees. She is a member of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee 229 on Nanotechnologies and works on several OECD Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials projects. B&C’s European affiliate, Acta EU, maintains an extensive REACH practice, which is busy preparing for the November 2010 registration deadline. Other topics addressed during the five-week seminar include: “Overview of U.S. Federal and Canadian National Chemical Safety” (session held October 16); and “Basics of the New U.N. Global Harmonized Systems for the Classification and Labeling of Chemicals” (session held November 6).
