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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a technical
committee may decide to publish other types of document:
— an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between technical experts in
an ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is approved by more than 50 % of the members
of the parent committee casting a vote;
— an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical
committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee casting
a vote.
An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a further
three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is confirmed,
it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an International
Standard or be withdrawn.
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.
ISO/TS 13278 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 229, Nanotechnologies.

Introduction
Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a well-established multi-element analytical
technique used for fast, precise and accurate determinations of trace elements. ICP-MS has many advantages
over other elemental analysis techniques such as atomic absorption and ICP atomic emission spectrometry
(ICP-AES). The ability to handle both simple and complex matrices with a minimum of matrix interferences
is due to the high temperature of the ICP source. ICP-MS also has high sensitivity and superior detection
capability.
Owing to their unusual physical and chemical properties, and potential applications in a number of areas,
interest in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has shown tremendous growth in the past decade. Metal particle catalysts
[1][2][3]
are essential in the mass production of nanotubes by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) . Removal of
these residual catalysts (typically Fe, Co, and/or Ni) after CNT production is one of the key challenges for the
[4]
application of CNTs in many fields . After complicated purification steps, the concentration of such catalysts
is measured. It is of great concern that the results of toxicological and ecological impact studies of carbon
[5][6][7]
nanotubes could be misinterpreted due to the presence of impurities in the test materials and that the
metals could be released into the environment during disposal of the product by means of com
