The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has approved a new standard for nanotechnology, specifically for luminous nanomaterials used in lighting and display applications. The standard, based on the IEC Technical Working Group 113 series, provides a detailed specification for luminous nanomaterials without assigning values. This standard allows customers to specify requirements and verify the properties of luminous nanomaterials through standardized methods.
Iran has made significant progress in nanotechnology, ranking fourth in the world in nanotechnology publications, according to the nanotechnology research website StatNano. International entities have recognized Iranian contributions to the field, including a scholarly article published by the American Institute of Physics on the use of nanomaterials for cancer treatment by Iranian scientists.
Iran’s nanotechnology products are diversified, with 42% related to construction, 17% to petroleum, and 13% to automobile manufacturing. Key accomplishments in nanotechnology can be seen across various sectors, including engineering, energy, and medicine. The development of this standard meets the needs of the nano research and industrial sectors, enabling customers to specify requirements and verify the properties of luminous nanomaterials in standardized ways.
