Abstract

Recently, the use of nanotechnology in products is constantly expanding, and the problems on human health hazard has emerged as a major issue. A nanomaterials regulatory policy on the products is urgently required. This study analyzed the introduction of regulatory policies of nanomaterials contained in industrial products. In this study, the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method was applied and three regulatory policies were evaluated to analyze the validity of the introduction of a nanomaterials regulatory policy. To select the optimal regulatory policy, the policy evaluation criteria were set as enforcement (effectiveness), economics, acceptability, and protection. For the regulatory policies, self-regulation, product labelling, and enforced registration were introduced and evaluated as the regulatory policies, and product labelling was selected as the optimal regulatory policy.

최근 공산품에 나노기술의 활용이 점점 확대되고 다양한 나노제품이 출시되면서 나노물질의 인체 및 환경에 대한 유해성 문제가 주요한 사안으로 대두되고 있다. 이러한 위험성을 인식하여 EU 및 미국 등에서는 나노물질에 대한 규제를 강화하는 추세이다. 그러나 현재 국내에는 나노관련 법규가 미흡한 형편이다. 무엇보다도 소비자에게 밀접한 공산품의 나노물질 규제정책은 소비자의 안전을 위해 시급히 요구되고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 규제정책 도입을 위한 기반연구로서 공산품에 함유된 나노물질에 대한 규제정책 도입을 위한 분석을 실시한다. 본 연구에서는 AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) 기법을 적용하여 규제정책을 평가하고 가장 적합도가 높은 최적 규제정책을 선택한다. 규제정책은 자율규제, 제품라벨링, 정부등록제를 대상으로 하며 정책평가기준은 시행성(효과성), 경제성, 수용성, 보호성으로 설정한다. 평가 결과 최대 적합도를 가지는 제품라벨링 정책을 최적 규제정책으로 선택한다.
