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 document 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).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed
patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received
notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are
cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent
database available at www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all
such patent rights.

This document was prepared jointly by Technical Committee ISO/TC 229, Nanotechnologies and
Technical Committee IEC/TC 113, Nanotechnology standardization for electrical and electronic products
and systems, and in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical
Committee CEN/TC 352, Nanotechnologies, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation
between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement). The draft was circulated for voting to the national bodies of
both ISO and IEC.
This first edition cancels and replaces ISO/TS 80004-1:2015, ISO/TS 80004-2:2015, ISO/TS 80004-4:2011
and ISO/TS 80004-11:2017, which have been technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous editions are as follows:
— ISO/TS 80004-1:2015, ISO/TS 80004-2:2015, ISO/TS 80004-4:2011 and ISO/TS 80004-11:2017
merged into one document;
— the definition of nanostructure has been revised;
— the term and definition for NOAA has been added.

ISO 80004-1:2023(E)
Introduction
By control of matter in the nanoscale, nanotechnology brings together processes and techniques that
are used to research, design and manufacture materials, devices and systems. It enables management
of characteristics such as material size, shape, morphology, chemical composition and molecular
configuration for the improvement, or development of, new process and product properties.
Applications of nanotechnologies are expected to impact virtually every aspect of life and enable
dramatic advances in communication, health, manufacturing, materials and knowledge-based
technologies. There is a need to provide industry and researchers with suitable tools to assist with the
development, application and communication of nanotechnologies.
A crucial objective is the harmonization of terminology and definitions, in order to promote common
understanding and consistent usage across communities where nanotechnologies are being developed
and used. In the context of the ISO 80004 series, “terminology” refers to:
a) a structured or conceptual presentation of vocabulary employed in nanotechnologies, and
b) assigned definitions for specific units of the language in this vocabulary.
This document presents terminology and definitions for core terms in this emerging vocabulary and
serves as the foundation for a broader vocabulary constituted collectively by the ISO 80004 series.
As nanotechnologies continue to evolve, the terms and definitions to facilitate communications
have become increasingly specific and precise. For many communities, the meaning of terms such
as nanoscale, nanomaterial and nanotechnology are inferred by logical application of the SI unit
−9
of scale. The prefix 'nano-' specifically means a measure of 10 units and the nature of this unit is
determined by the word that follows. In the ISO 80004 series, however, terms such as nano-object and
nanoscale employ size and geometric boundaries to express fundamental and measurable aspects of
nanomaterials. In the case of the term nanoscale, the definition acknowledges that the length range of
nano-objects can fall outside the precise boundaries normally associated with the concept of scale, by
indicating that the upper and lower boundaries are approximate.
The lower limit (approximately 1
