Several organizations are involved in the development of global standards for nanotechnology:
ISO (International Organization for Standardization): ISO has a dedicated technical committee, ISO/TC 229, focusing on nanotechnologies. IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission): IEC TC 113 is responsible for nanotechnology standardization in the field of electrical and electronic products and systems. ASTM International: ASTM Committee E56 on Nanotechnology develops standards related to the characterization, testing, and environmental health and safety aspects of nanotechnology. OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development): OECD develops guidelines for the testing of nanomaterials to ensure their safe use.
