Abstract

This chapter briefly describes current standardization activities for measurement and characterization of nanotechnology in various standardization organizations, with emphasis on the activity of ISO (International Organization for Standardization). Since the establishment of the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) in 2001, both industrial and developing countries have accelerated investment for research and development (R&D) of nanotechnology [1]. In accordance with the increase in attention to nanotechnology worldwide, the interest in standardization for nanotechnology became prominent in 2004 in a trilateral framework involving the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
