International standards are crucial for several reasons:
Safety: They ensure that nanomaterials and nanodevices do not pose undue risks to human health and the environment. Interoperability: Standards enable different nanotechnology products to work together seamlessly. Quality Assurance: They provide benchmarks for evaluating the performance and reliability of nanotechnology products. Trade Facilitation: Standards make it easier for products to cross international borders by ensuring they meet the same criteria.
