2008: NEW NANOTECH GUIDANCE

摘要

BSI British Standards will publish nine documents for nanotechnology terminology and guidance for UK industry in January 2008, addressing nanotechnology health and safety issues, materials specifications, and labelling of nanotechnology-based products. Nanotechnology is based on the manipulation of matter at the "nano" scale - with one or more dimensions less than 100 nanometres - and has significant potential in fields as diverse as healthcare, IT and energy generation, and information storage. Seven new Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and two Published Documents (PD) will be published, covering everything from carbon nanostructures to the safe handling and disposal of engineered nanoparticles. These documents will underpin the development and commercialization of nanotechnoloqy.
