Nanotechnology standards focus primarily on the characteristics and measurements of nanomaterials and nanostructures. Starting with unifying vocabulary and moving on to more specific considerations such as single- and multi-wall carbon nanotubes, exposure testing, risk management, and workforce training. Nanotechnology is a field of technology that is constantly undergoing change and advancements, and these standards are applicable to a variety of topics related to the field as it constantly evolves.
