Format:
|
Workshop. |
|
Purpose:
|
- Disseminate
findings from three interlaboratory studies based on ASTM standards
(E2524, E2526, and WK8705).
- Assess
current activities on standardization for nanomaterial characterization,
development of reference materials, and prioritization of standards
needs for physicochemical, in vitro and in vivo characterization
and risk assessment.
- Formation
of an international network of qualified and willing testing
laboratories
- Demonstration
and deployment of prototype software for electronic. development
of pre-standards protocols and for management of interlaboratory
studies.
- Prioritization
and generation of projects by the workshop participants.

Topics:
|
International
standards for physico-chemical, in vitro and in vivo characterization
of nanomaterials. Acceleration of pre-standards protocol development.
International cooperation on protocol development and material
testing.
