Introduction
As is commonly noticed for every technology concerned with the development of new materials, and for
nanotechnology in particular, communication and mutual understanding of material characteristics are
important among consumers, regulators and industries. In the case of nanoparticles, the stakeholders’
basic interest is in the characteristics of nanoparticles in a material, i.e. what nanoparticles are present
and what is the size distribution of nanoparticles. Such identification of nanoparticles in a material can
be facilitated by the development of standards for nanoparticle characteristics and their measurement
methods.
This document provides standardized methods for identifying and characterizing nanoparticles
in powder form. Other standards have been developed for specific materials, i.e. ISO/TS 11931 and
ISO/TS 11937 for calcium carbonates and titanium dioxides, respectively. This document is generic
and may apply to nanoparticles composed generally of metal/metal ion and counter-ion, and to carbon
materials (e.g. fullerenes and fullerene derivatives) and polymers (e.g. polystyrene). The applicability
of this document includes calcium carbonate and titanium dioxide. This document is applicable to both
coated and uncoated nanoparticles.
This document facilitates communication and mutual understanding among consumers, regulators and
industries about the characteristics of nanoparticles. It supports consumers in purchasing and using
nanoparticle-containing products, regulators in establishing legislative frameworks, and industries in
setting up voluntary risk control systems.

Introduction
As is commonly noticed for every technology concerned with the development of new materials, and
for nanotechnology in particular, communication and mutual understanding of material characteristics
are important among consumers, regulators and industries. In the case of nanoparticles, the
stakeholders’ basic interest is in the characteristics, if any, of nanoparticles in a material, i.e. whether
or not nanoparticles are included, what nanoparticles are present and what the size distribution of
nanoparticles is. Such identification of nanoparticles in a material can be facilitated by the development
of standards for nanoparticle characteristics and their measurement methods.
This International Standards (IS) provide with standardized techniques for identifying nanoparticles in
a particle sample in powder form. Such standards, however, have been developed for specific materials
as ISO Technical Specifications, i.e. ISO/TS 11931 and ISO/TS 11937 for calcium carbonates and titanium
dioxides, respectively. This IS is a generic document instead being applicable to nanoparticles of general
chemical compounds and metals, including calcium carbonates and titanium dioxides.
This IS will facilitate communication and mutual understanding among consumers, regulators and
industries about the characteristics of nanoparticles. It will support consumers in purchasing and using
nanoparticles-containing products, regulators in establishing legislative frameworks, and industries in
setting up voluntary risk control systems.

1 Scope
This International Standard (IS) specifies fundamental characteristics to be measured of an engineered
nanoparticles sample to determine the size, the chemical composition and the specific surface area of
nanoparticles in powder form. This IS is applied to both particles that have a covering material on
the surface of a core material and that do not have it. The IS also specifies measurement methods for
determining each of these characteristics.
Excluded in this IS are characteristics that pertain to industrial applications of nanoparticles in powder
form and detailed measurement protocols as well as characteristics related to health, safety, and
environmental issues.
