Standards & Norms:

The NIA is an expert participant in the ISO/TC 229 (International Organisation for Standardization / Technical Committee on Nanotechnologies).

The NIA is a liaison member of CEN/TC 352 (European Committee for Standardization / Technical Committee on Nanotechnologies), as well as a full member of the BSI NTI/1 (British Standards Institution committee on Nanotechnologies).

NIA Committees

Nanotechnologies are emerging technologies that provide product and process innovations in existing markets and help to establish entirely new markets, but there will never be a single market for nanotechnologies, or indeed, one encompassing all nanotechnology-enabled products and processes.

Established in a niche area between existing market-sector-oriented trade and industries associations, product- and application-derived regulatory organisations, individual companies and stakeholders, the NIA operates through a number of permanent committees, which have been established to work with partnering trade and industry associations, governments and other stakeholders.
