ANSI Nanotechnology Standards Panel
ANSI established the ANSI Nanotechnology Standards Panel (NSP) at the request of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) of the Executive Office of the President of the United States.
The purpose of the ANSI-NSP is to serve as the cross-sector coordinating body for developing standards including nomenclature/terminology, materials properties, testing, measurement and characterization procedures in nanotechnology. The ANSI-NSP will provide the framework within which stakeholders can work cooperatively to promote, accelerate and coordinate the timely development of voluntary consensus standards that are intended to meet identified needs related to nanotechnology research, development and commercialization.

ASTM International
ASTM International established a new technical committee, Committee E56 on Nanotechnology, that is to develop standards and guidance for nanotechnology and nanomaterials and to coordinate existing ASTM standardization with respect to nanotechnology needs. Committee E56’s membership roster represents twelve countries.
The committee is divided into these six technical subcommittees:
- Terminology and Nomenclature Characterization
- Characterization
- Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety
- International Law and Intellectual Property
- Liaison and International Cooperation
- Standards of Care/Product Stewardship
