Standards

Term used to mean different things:
Physical standard (e.g., realization of a SI unit)
Reference material
Measurement protocol
Documentary standard
Technical specification
Technical guideline or guidance document
Best practice
Important role for all of the above in enabling nanoEHS efforts

SLIDE 3

nanoEHS Standardization Approach

Measurement

methodologies

Reference materials

Protocol and tool development

Round-robin testing
Accelerate standards

development

Pre-standardization efforts

Range of
rganizations
Rigorous and

broadly used products

Consensus standards

SLIDE 4

Focus Areas for Nanotech Standardization

“What do you call it”

Terminology

“How you measure it”

Measurement

“What effect it may have on health and

environment”

EHS

SLIDE 5

US-EU Cooperation in Standardization for nanoEHS

Strong imperatives for cooperation
Significant collaboration already underway:
Generating data
Validating data
Development of test protocols and methodologies
Pre-standardization validation
Some areas of consensus standards development
Significant benefits to cooperation in standardization

SLIDE 6

The standards cooperation puzzle

Two faces of the standards/standardization coin:
Cooperation and collaboration
Competition
Mutually exclusive?
Modular approach – common data and common standards as two of

the fundamental building blocks

Help bridge differences in regulation

SLIDE 7

Standards Bridging nanoEHS efforts

Shared vision
Standards needs
Priorities
Shared effort
Limited resources
Mostly voluntary activities
Increased awareness
Available resources
Informing others
Engagement
Standards development
Standards use
Feedback
