TY - CHAP A1 - Reiners, Georg ED - Zweck, A. ED - Luther, W. T1 - Definition and standardization of nanomaterials T2 - Safety aspects of engineered nanomaterials N2 - This chapter will focus on those standards and standardization projects which are relevant for nanomaterials. These are mainly terminology documents defining a nanomaterial, documents describing the measurement and characterization of nanomaterials, the specifications and performance assessment of nanomaterials, as well as documents describing how nanomaterials can influence environment, health, and safety.

ED - Howard, J. T1 - Nanoscale reference materials T2 - Nanostructure science and technology - Nanotechnology standards N2 - Globalisation of both science and trade has increased the relevance of the ­comparability of measurement data whether in research, industry or regulatory contexts. Reference materials (RMs) are essential tools in the quest for comparable and reliable measurement results, a quest which laboratories, worldwide, are tasked with every day. An explicit acknowledgement of the importance of RMs in today’s measurement systems is found, for instance, in the laboratory accreditation standards, such as ISO/IEC 17025.
