Nanotechnology and standardization
Iran's proposal to ISO to compile 4 new international standards in the field of nanotechnology
In the summit International Standard Organization (Iso), Iran's proposal Four international standards New in the field Nanotechnology He raised. Previously, Iran is responsible for formulating several international standards in Nanotechnology field had taken over.
It's a meeting International Technical Committee for Nanotechnology Standards (ISO/TC229) This year due to the outbreak Covid 19 diseaseIt was held virtually and online with the presence of representatives of more than 20 member countries of this committee. In this conference, Iran actively participated by proposing the development of 4 new standards and also defending 2 international standards that are being developed..
In order to deal with the Covid-19 disease, Iran has proposed two international standards in the field:
- Determining the characteristics and properties of disinfectants based on nanotechnology
- Determining the release rate of nano-objects in breathing masks made with nano technology
to the International Organization for Standardization(Iso) presented.
Currently, few countries in the world produce health products to deal with the Covid-19 disease, and Iran is one of these countries.. Due to the use and efficiency of these products in the fight against Covid-19 and the need to have them Standard To evaluate the efficiency of these products, the proposal of these 2 standards was well received by the countries participating in the summit.
Given that Masks and disinfectants based on Nanotechnology are produced by several domestic companies in the country and are widely used during the outbreak of the Covid-19 disease, these two issues are discussed in the special headquarters Development of nano technology It was determined as a priority. Then the initial design and proposal of this Standards with the help of experts and production companies by holding numerous specialized meetings in Nanotechnology Preparation and to International Committee for Standardization of Nanotechnology was presented.
Iran's other proposal with the subject:
Evaluating the efficiency and durability of superhydrophobic nanocoatings
was previously to the international committee Standardization of nanotechnology was provided. This proposal was presented in the recent meeting and the expert opinions sent by the experts of the countries were discussed and analyzed. Super hydrophobic nanocoatings They have many uses and several domestic companies produce these types of products. Iran's fourth proposal on the subject of evaluating the effectiveness of superhydrophobic textiles containing Nanomaterials was also presented in this meeting.
In addition to the above suggestions, 2 International standard Another that is under the responsibility of Iran International Committee for Standardization of Nanotechnology were already being compiled, incl:
- Antibacterial textiles containing nanomaterials - performance determination
- Measuring the bioavailability of nanomaterials produced in aquatic environments
whose draft was finalized in this meeting and soon by ISO organization will be published.
It was discussed and analyzed by experts and representatives of different countries present in the international technical committee during numerous technical meetings in the conference..
