This document discusses standards development for nanotechnology. It outlines how standards were developed anticipatorily, participatorily, and responsively for various industries like microelectronics, information technology, and digital optical storage. It recommends high priority collaborative projects between standards bodies in areas like clean rooms and environmental products. It also recommends continued knowledge assessment, open access archives, standards education, and engagement of international communities and start-ups. The purpose is to demonstrate stewardship, develop performance standards for beneficial products, and kick start sensor applications to help nanoelectronics standards development.

15. • Electronics industry has done it before!
• Product integration, market players integration,
safety
• Nanoelectronics Industry community can do it again
•Demonstrate stewardship in LCA
• Participation by Application-focused researchers needed
•Develop and Use anticipatory standards
•Develop key performance criteria for all socially
beneficial nanoenabled products
•Kick start developments in Sensor application
•Engage international community including NIE

16. •Outreach on Standards activities
•Increase industry participation through conference
participation (can be a captive audience for increased
outreach on standards activities)
•Potential Workshops (topics & funding tbd)
•What we are doing?-
• Organizing committee member for 2011 ASET conference
• Work items as applied research topics & design steps
Funding benefits, Engineering training

17. World Standards Cooperation
Academic Week

18. Standards Cooperation –
Start-up companies & Investors group audience
Big players as mentors
LCA Training modules for nanotech audience
Sector focus from being an “umbrella”

19. Recommendations…..
High priority collaborative projects
SEMI-ISO-IEC : ISO TC 209 (clean room)
IEEE-ISO-IEC: IEC TC 111 (Env. Electronic products)
ISO-IEC: ISO 14040 (LCA)
Continuous knowledge assessment (risk & toxicology)
Open access archive( BioMed central, arXiv)
Journal rev committees (foresight, type of measures
applicable to risk assessment, thoughts on applicability
criteria ..?)
Web 2.0 wiki tools

23. “We wanted to find a good way to determine how biologically relevant nanomaterials
react with cells,” says Jim Riviere, distinguished professor of pharmacology. “When a
nanomaterial enters the human body, it immediately binds to several proteins and
amino acids. The molecules with which a particle attaches determine where to go. ”
