Nanotechnology has been identified as a Key Enabling Technology for the European Union (Horizon 2020) and already has a wide field of applications. However, hazardous properties of nanomaterials such as their flammability and explosivity, have to be determined to ensure their sustainable development. This poster gives an overview of the current status in nanodust explosion research, standardization and european collaboration as well as highlighting current and future perspectives.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) set up the Technical Committee 352 (CEN/TC 352) in 2006 to develop and maintain up to date standards in the field of nanotechnologies. Part of the work group (WG 3) dedicated to Health, Safety and Environment, the CEN/TC 352/WG 3/PG 3 led by INERIS was constituted to develop a Technical Specification (TS) for the determination of explosivity and flammability properties of manufactured nano-objects in powder form (2013-2018).
