Guidance Documents on nanotechnology terminology, health and safety issues, and product labelling published by BSI British Standards for UK industry
BSI British Standards has published nine documents for nanotechnology terminology and guidance for UK industry, addressing nanotechnology terminology, health and safety issues, and product labelling.
Why standards for nanotechnologies are important
Standards will help to ensure that nanotechnology is developed and commercialised in an open, safe and responsible manner and will support:
- Safety testing, legislation and regulation
- Worker, public and environmental safety
- Commercialisation and procurement
- Patenting and IPR
- Communication about the benefits, opportunities and potential problems associated with nanotechnologies.
