Iran’s Proposal for Int’l Standard of Nanoemulsions Approved by ISO
The new proposal of Iran entitled ‘Nano-nanoemulsions technology - specifications, features and measurement methods’ which was submitted to the ISO nearly a year ago was accepted and approved after technical and expert reviews and the vote of 40 member states.
This standard is to determine the properties and measurement methods of nanoemulsions which are increasingly used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food industries.
The proposed standard, which has been presented under the responsibility of one of the Iranian nanotechnology manufacturing companies and with the support of the Iran Nanotechnology Innovation Council in the ISO will provide a comprehensive method for examining the various characteristics of nanoemulsions.
It will also specify standard measurement methods to ensure consistency and reliability in tests.
By establishing clear guidelines, the project seeks to facilitate better quality control, enhance product safety, and promote innovation in the development of nanoemulsion-based products.
Iran has made nanotechnology a priority in recent years, achieving remarkable success. The nanotechnology research website StatNano has ranked Iran as fourth in the world in nanotechnology publications.
The number of scientific articles is deemed a significant parameter for measuring and comparing scientific development, according to StatNano that provides the global and regional ranking of the main indicators of nano science, technology, and industry. China was atop the rankings, followed by the United States and India.
International entities have acknowledged Iranian contributions to the field. In February 2022, the American Institute of Physics published a scholarly article on the use of nanomaterials for cancer treatment by Iranian scientists.
Among Iran's nanotechnology products, 42% are related to construction, 17% to petroleum and 13% to automobile manufacturing.
Nanotechnology refers to industrial production from atomic and molecule-sized matter. It leverages the properties of nanoparticles into a wide range of applications spanning a vast number of industries. Key accomplishments in the field of nanotechnology can be seen across a wide variety of engineering, energy and medical sectors.
