ISO TC 229 Begins Survey on Advanced and Emergent Materials

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which administers the U.S. Technical Advisory Group for the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee (TC) 229 on Nanotechnologies, announced a survey seeking feedback on the use of terms related to advanced materials as part of its newly launched study group, Advanced and Emerging Materials. See https://www.ansi.org/news/standards-news/all-news/2020/11/iso-technical-committee-229-releases-survey-on-advanced-and-emergent-materials and https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=IP-naC-BOEeQ6gsQUYRvdOw-Vfgs1wpHpf_QAMxMfB5URVFYMFBaV1k4TEM1SjZPR1BZWFNCRUNCNS4u According to ANSI, the study group is charged with identifying and clarifying differences between the use of terms related to advanced materials across stakeholder groups. According to ANSI, the concept of advanced materials is of increasing importance to the nanotechnology community. In recent years, a number of nanotechnology-focused professional groups have expanded their scope to include advanced materials. ANSI states that regulatory research organizations have also included advanced and emerging materials or technologies within the scope of groups previously focused on nanotechnologies. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials recently decided to include advanced materials within their scope. The survey seeks comments from subject matter experts, stakeholders, and other interested parties and is aimed at identifying the scientific, technical, and social views of select terms and definitions related to advanced and emergent materials.
