ISO 17200 discusses nanoparticles in powder form for nanotechnology. ISO 17200 outlines characteristics to be measured of a sample of engineered nanoparticles in powder form to determine the size, the chemical content, and the surface area of the nanoparticle. ISO 17200 also specifies measurement methods for determining each of the characteristics.
ISO 17200 is intended to facilitate communication among consumers, regulators, and industries with the necessary characteristics.
Note: ISO 17200 excludes characteristics that pertain to specific industrial applications of nanoparticles in powder form and detailed measurement protocols, as well as characteristics related to health, safety, and environmental issues.
ISO 17200 on nanoparticles in powder form for nanotechnology is useful for:
Every technology is concerned with the development of new materials. For nanotechnology, communication and mutual understanding of material characteristics are important among stakeholders. Identification of nanoparticles in a material can be facilitated by the development of standards for nanoparticle characteristics and their measurement methods.
ISO 17200 guidelines help you with requirements, chemical composition, crystallographic components, sampling, and sample preparation for the identification of nanoparticles in powder form. This helps in the assessment for nanoparticles in powder form.
