Nanotechnologies - Characterization of nano-objects using single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ISO/TS 19590:2024)

This document specifies parameters, conditions and considerations for the reliable detection, characterization and quantification of nano-objects in aqueous suspension by spICP-MS.
Particle number concentration, particle mass, particle mass concentration, particle spherical equivalent diameter, and number-based size distribution are considered the main measurands, but the technique also allows for determination of the dissolved element mass fraction in the sample. This document provides general guidelines and procedures related to spICP-MS application, and specifies minimal reporting requirements.

Nanotechnologien - Charakterisierung von Nanoobjekten mit Hilfe der Massenspektrometrie mit induktiv gekoppeltem Einzelpartikelplasma (ISO/TS 19590:2024)

Dieses Dokument legt Parameter, Bedingungen und Überlegungen für den zuverlässigen Nachweis, die Charakterisierung und die Quantifizierung von Nanoobjekten in wässriger Suspension mit der spICP MS fest.
Partikel-Anzahlkonzentration, Partikelmasse, Partikel-Massenkonzentration, Kugeläquivalentdurchmesser der Partikel und anzahlbasierte Größenverteilung werden als Hauptmessgrößen betrachtet, allerdings ermöglicht die Technik auch die Bestimmung des Massenanteils gelöster Elemente in der Probe. Dieses Dokument enthält allgemeine Anleitungen und Verfahren für die Anwendung von spICP MS und legt Mindestanforderungen an den Prüfbericht fest.

Nanotechnologies - Caractérisation des nano-objets par spectrométrie de masse à plasma induit en mode particule unique (ISO/TS 19590:2024)

Le présent document décrit les paramètres, conditions et autres aspects à prendre en compte pour la détection, la caractérisation et la quantification fiables des nano-objets en suspension aqueuse par spICP-MS.
La concentration en nombre de particules, la masse des particules, la concentration massique des particules, le diamètre sphérique équivalent des particules et la distribution granulométrique en nombre sont considérés comme les principaux mesurandes, mais la technique permet également de déterminer la fraction massique d’un élément dissout dans l’échantillon. Le présent document fournit des lignes directrices générales et des modes opératoires liés à l’application de la spICP-MS, et spécifie les exigences minimales en matière de rapport.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
