Home > Press > Iran Proposes to ISO Compilation of 2 Int'l Standards in Nanotechnology
Abstract:
The Secretariat of Iran's ISO/TC 229 Nanotechnologies has sent two international standards to the 33 permanent members of the International Standard Organization (ISO) committee to vote and comment on them.
Titles of the two standards are as follows:
a. Nano-enhanced air filter media using nanofibres -- Characteristics, performance and measurement methods
b. Nanotechnologies -- Nanoclays -- Characteristics and measurements
Iran has been producing filters improved by nanofibers, including power plant filters, heavy and light machinery filters and respiration masks since a few years ago. In fact, a new class of filters has been presented by using nanotechnology. These filters are produced in Iran at a large scale and a few international companies produce these filters too.
The other proposed standard is the standard for the characteristics of nanoclay. The draft of the standard has been compiled by Standard Committee of Iran Nanotechnology Initiative Council in association with an academic team. This standard presents the most important parameters and characteristics of nanoclay by taking into consideration its applications, and different methods to measure those parameters. The two standards should pass various stages of the standard compilation before they are published.
Iran has so far led the compilation of three international standards in the field of nanotechnology and is among the nine countries that have been the leader of standard compilation in the field of nanotechnology in International Standard Organization (ISO).
