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further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn.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International Standard or be withdrawn.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.

Introduction
As many authorities predict that applications of nanotechnologies will pervade all areas of life and will enable
dramatic advances to be realized in all areas of communication, health, manufacturing, materials and
knowledge-based technologies, there is an obvious need to provide industry and research with suitable tools
to aid the development and application of those technologies. It is also essential that regulators and health
and environmental protection agencies have available reliable measurement systems and evaluation
protocols supported by well-founded and robust standards.
Often in the field of nanotechnologies, researchers with the aid of microscopes name materials inspired by the
shape of objects found in everyday life although the physical size is much smaller. The prefix, nano-, is often
−9
added to denote the small size of the object. (The prefix nano-, is also used in S.I. units to indicate 10 e.g.
−9
1 nanometre = 10 metre.)
To create a unitary standard, this terminology and definitions document encompasses terms used in both
nanosciences and nanotechnologies concerning particles at the nano-scale. Nano-object and other new terms
are coined to allow development of a rational hierarchical system of definitions. This hierarchy will allow
systematic building of vocabulary and is contained in a larger hierarchy of terms under development for
nanotechnologies. This document provides an up-to-date listing of terms and definitions relevant to the area. It
forms one part of a projected multi-part terminology and definitions document covering the different aspects of
nanotechnologies. It is intended to facilitate communications between organizations and individuals in industry
and those who interact with them.
This document is concerned with the definition of terminology and definitions for these small objects. These
objects come in several shapes; the three basic shapes referred to in this document are illustrated in Figure 1:
a) nanoparticle b) nanorod c) nanoplate
Figure 1 — Schematic diagrams showing some shapes for nano-objects
There is a hierarchical relationship between many of the different terms in the document. Some elements of
this are shown in Figure 2 to illustrate some of the relationships that exist.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ISO/TS 27687:2008(E)
Nanotechnologies — Terminology and definitions
for nano-objects — Nanoparticle, nanofibre and
nanoplate
1 Scope
This Technical Specification lists terms and definitions related to particles in the field of nanotechnologies. It is
intended to facilitate communications between organizations and individuals in industry and those who interact
with them.
2 Core terms related to particles
2.1
nanoscale
size range from approximately 1 nm to 100 nm
NOTE 1 Properties that are not extrapolations from a larger size will typically, but not exclusively, be exhibited in this
size range. For such properties the size limits are considered approximate.
NOTE 2 The lower limit in this definition (approximately 1 nm) is introduced to avoid single and small groups of atoms
from being designated as nano-objects or elements of nanostructures, which might be implied by the absence of a lower
limit.
2.2
nano-object
material with one, two or three external dimensions in the nanoscale
NOTE Generic term for all discrete nanoscale objects.
3 Terms concerning particles and assemblies of particles
Nano-objects (for example nanoparticles, nanofibres, a
...
