DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS FOR NANOTECHNOLOGIES Howard Morris Chair, Nanotechnologies Committee (NT-001) 4 July 2012
International What is it? 1. Organization for Federation of national standards bodies Standardization (ISO) Non-governmental organisation Outputs? 2. International standards, technical specifications, technical reports How does it operate? 3. Distils international consensus to meet stakeholder needs How do people participate? 4. Voluntary contributions Nominated by national bodies
ISO 34 Participating members (including Australia) Nanotechnologies 10 Observer members Technical Committee Working Group Focus Convenor (ISO TC229) 1 Terminology & Canada Nomenclature 2 Measurement & Japan Characterisation 3 Health, Safety & USA Environment 4 Materials China Specification Task Groups Sustainability USA Consumer & USA Societal Dimensions
Structure mirrors ISO TC229 Standards 1. Australia Supporting development of standards and 2. Nanotechnologies their dissemination Committee Broad range of organisations represented NT-001 3. Research, industry, unions, public interest groups, government agencies (federal & state), standards setting bodies, professional associations Secretary, Joan Beal (Standards Australia) Financial support from DIISRTE 4. Under National Enabling Technologies Strategy

Workshop Inform about ISO & NT-001 work 1. Focus What are your perspectives on 2. nanotechnologies & issues? What are your needs from Standards 3. development? What can we do in the areas of definitions, 4. nomenclature & terminology to help address those needs & issues? How can we best disseminate/use 5. international standards in Australia?
