  19. 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

  20. Why do we need Standards • Facilitate Nanotechnology commercialization • Quality assurance • Guidelines for achieving quality management • Conveys confidence • Consumers acceptance • Increase sales and market access

  21. 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

  22. Technical Committee on NanotechologiesTC 229 • Standards under development : • ISO/PRF TS 27687 • Nanotechnologies - Terminology and definitions for nanoparticles • ISO/AWI 10801 • Nanotechnologies -- Generation of silver nanoparticles for inhalation toxicity testing Source : http://www.iso.org

  23. E 56 Committee on Nanotechnology • Issues related to standards and guidance materials for nanotechnology & nanomaterials • Coordinate existing ASTM standardization related to nanotechnology needs Source : http://www.astm.org

  24. Nanotechnology Council • Developing nanotechnology-based electronics standards • To consider new standards projects, to guide the development Source : http://www.grouper.ieee.org

  25. American National Standards Institute – Nanotechnology Standards Panel • Developing standards in the area of nanotechnology including, but not limited to : Nomenclature/terminology Materials properties Testing, measurement and characterization procedures Source : http://www.ansi.org

  26. STANDARDIZATION ADMINISTRATIONOF THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA • (SAC/TC279) National Technical Committee on Nanotechnology of Standardization Administration of China • Drafting fundamental standards, terminology, methodology and safety in the fields of nano-scale measurements, materials, devices and scale biomedicine. • Approved over 20 nanotechnology-related standards Source : http://www.nanochina.cn

  28. National Standards of the People's Republic of ChinaGB/T (Guojia Biaozhun) • Guóbiāo (国标) (GB) in the People's Republic of China is the abbreviation of • Guójiā Biāozhǔn (国家标准), meaning the "National Standards", or • Guójiā Biāozhǔn Mǎ (国家标准码), meaning the "National Standard Encoding" as Chinese character encoding system • “T” from Chinese language推荐 tuījiàn, "recommended" • Ex : GB/T19619-2004 Terminology for nanomaterials Source : http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guobiao

  29. DB – Province Level Standard • DB 44/T 415-2007 NANOTECHNOLOGY-TREATED CLOTHES (Approved on April 26.2007 by Bureau of Quality and Technology Supervision of Guangdong Province ) • Voluntary local standards • Province Level Bureau of Technical Supervision

  30. DB 44/T 415-2007 NANOTECHNOLOGY-TREATED CLOTHES Standard for woven and knitted fabric and garments with the following functions : • Liquid repellency • Oil repellency • Soil-release • Anti-bacterial • UV protection

  31. DB 44/T 415-2007 NANOTECHNOLOGY-TREATED CLOTHES TEST METHOD : GB/T 4745-1997, ISO 4920:1981 Liquid repellency GB/T 19977-2005,ISO 14419:1998 Oil repellency, Hydrocarbon resistance FZ/T 73023-2006, AATCC 100:1999, JIS L 1902:2002 Anti-bacterial Efficacy FZ/T 10012 Soil release performance GB/T 18830 UV protection

  32. Conclusion • Surface treatment with Green Earth concept • Health and safety • Urgent need Standardization • Educate Industry concerned, consumers
