What is PD CEN/TS 17010 – Characterising nano-objects and materials about?
PD CEN/TS 17010 is an international technical standard that focuses on guidance for characterizing nano-objects and materials. PD CEN/TS 17010 provides guidelines for the identification of measured to characterize nanoobjects, and their agglomerates and aggregates and to assess specific properties relevant to the performance of materials that contain them. PD CEN/TS 17010 provides guidance for relevant and reliable measurement.
Who is PD CEN/TS 17010 - Characterising nano-objects and materials for?
PD CEN/TS 17010 on guidance for characterising nano-objects and materials is useful for:
- Nanotechnologies researchers
- Nanotechnology companies
- Nanotechnology supply chains
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 17010 - Characterising nano-objects and materials?
The term “nano-object” applies to materials having one, two or three external dimensions in the nanoscale (therefore in the range of approximately 1 to 100 nanometres). Specific properties of nano-objects are usually exhibited in this size range, even if they do not disappear abruptly beyond these limits. PD CEN/TS 17010 informs the use of nano-objects in research and development, industry and commercial applications. Characterization of nano-objects and their agglomerates and aggregates (sometimes referred to as NOAA) plays an essential role in basic and applied research, through the process and product quality control and commercialization to health and environmental protection.
PD CEN/TS 17010 describes and defines the measurands, both the overarching intended measurands and those measured by the instruments, to elucidate which measurements can be compared with each other and under which conditions and assumptions.
