There are 2 classes of Savings: Direct Savings of Resources Indirect Savings of Resources as: Shorten the washing time (less energy and water consumption) Fewer number of washings for a given time (less energy, water and detergent consumption) Low water temperature for washing (smaller energy consumption) Green Technology for the Earth’s Resources U care W care about our Earth
Why do we need Standards • Facilitate Nanotechnology commercialization • Quality assurance • Guidelines for achieving quality management • Conveys confidence • Consumers acceptance • Increase sales and market access
At present –There are • No agreed terminology/definitions • No uniform nomenclature • No uniform measurement • No agreed test methods • No standardized protocols for testing and evaluating toxicity of nanoparticles
