Foreword
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 with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

ISO/TS 80004-6:2021(E)
Introduction
Measurement and instrumentation techniques have effectively opened the door to modern
nanotechnology. Characterization is key to understanding the properties and function of all nano-
objects.
Nano-object characterization involves interactions between people with different backgrounds
and from different fields. Those interested in nano-object characterization might, for example, be
materials scientists, biologists, chemists or physicists, and might have a background that is primarily
experimental or theoretical. Those making use of the data extend beyond this group to include
regulators and toxicologists. To avoid any misunderstandings, and to facilitate both comparability and
the reliable exchange of information, it is essential to clarify the concepts, to establish the terms for use
and to establish their definitions.
The terms are classified under the following broad headings:
— Clause 3: General terms;
— Clause 4: Terms related to size and shape measurement;
— Clause 5: Terms related to chemical analysis;
— Clause 6: Terms related to measurement of other properties.
These headings are intended as a guide only, as some techniques can determine more than one property.
Subclause 4.1 lists the overarching measurands that apply to the rest of Clause 4. Other measurands are
more technique-specific and are placed in the text adjacent to the technique.
It should be noted that most techniques require analysis in a non-native state and involve sample
preparation, e.g. placing the nano-objects on a surface or placing them in a specific fluid or vacuum.
This could change the nature of the nano-objects.
The order of the techniques in this document should not be taken to indicate a preference and the
techniques listed in this document are not intended to be exhaustive. Equally, some of the techniques
listed in this document are more popular than others in their usage in analysing certain properties of
nano-objects. Table 1 lists alphabetically the common techniques for nano-object characterization.
Subclause 4.5 provides definitions of microscopy methods and related terms. When abbreviated terms
are used, note that the final “M”, given as “microscopy”, can also mean “microscope” depending on the
context. For definitions relating to the microscope, the word “method
