Nanotechnologies. Generation of metal nanoparticles for inhalation toxicity testing using the evaporation/condensation method. | Status: Current, Confirmed

1 Scope This International Standard gives requirements and recommendations for generating metal nanoparticles as aerosols suitable for inhalation toxicity testing by the evaporation/condensation method. Its application is limited to metals such as gold and silver which have been proven to generate nanoparticles suitable for inhalation toxicity testing using the technique it specifies (see Annex A).
