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. www.iso.org/directivesAttention 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
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received. www.iso.org/patentsAny trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical

IEC/TC 113, Nanotechnology standardization for electrical and electronic products and systems.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/TS 80004-1:2010), which has been
technically revised.Documents in the 80000 to 89999 range of reference numbers are developed by collaboration
between ISO and IEC.ISO/TS 80004 consists of the following parts, under the general title Nanotechnologies — Vocabulary:
— Part 1: Core terms— Part 2: Nano-objects
— Part 3: Carbon nano-objects
— Part 4: Nanostructured materials
— Part 5: Nano/bio interface
— Part 6: Nano-object characterization
— Part 7: Diagnostics and therapeutics for healthcare

Introduction
By control of matter in the nanoscale (2.1), nanotechnology (2.3) 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. Even if this is only partially realized, 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/TS 80004- series of standards, “terminology” refers to the following:
a) a structured or conceptual presentation of vocabulary employed in nanotechnologies,
b) assigned definitions for specific units of the language in this vocabulary.This part of ISO/TS 80004 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/TS 80004- series of standards.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” (2.4) and “nanotechnology” are inferred by logical application of the SI unit
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/TS 80004 vocabulary series, however, terms such as
“nano-object” (2.5) and “nanoscale” employ size and geometric boundaries to express fundamental and
measurable aspects of nanomaterials. In the case of the term nanoscale, the definiti
