Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a
technical committee may decide to publish other types of document:
— an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between technical experts in
an ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is approved by more than 50 % of the members
of the parent committee casting a vote;
— an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical
committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee casting
a vote.
An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a
further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is
confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an
International Standard or be withdrawn.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/TS 80004-3 was prepared jointly by Technical Committee ISO/TC 229, Nanotechnologies, and Technical
Committee IEC/TC 113, Nanotechnology standardization for electrical and electronic products and systems.
The draft was circulated for voting to the national bodies of both ISO and IEC.
Documents in the 80000 to 89999 range of reference numbers are developed by collaboration between ISO
and IEC.
ISO/TS 80004 consists of the following parts, under the general title Nanotechnologies — Vocabulary:
⎯ Part 3: Carbon nano-objects
The following parts are under preparation:
⎯ Part 1: Core terms

Introduction
In the last two decades, various new forms of nanoscale carbon materials, including fullerenes and carbon
nanotubes, have been discovered, synthesized and manufactured. These are promising materials for many
industrial fields associated with nanotechnologies because of their unique electronic, electromagnetic,
thermal, optical and mechanical properties.
In the context of increasing scientific knowledge and a growing number of technical terms in the field of
nanotechnologies (see Bibliography), the purpose of this part of ISO/TS 80004 is to define important terms
and concepts for carbon nano-objects in a precise and consistent manner, in order to clarify their
interrelationship, as well as their relationship to existing terms previously used for conventional carbon
materials.
This part of ISO/TS 80004 belongs to a multi-part vocabulary covering the different aspects of
nanotechnologies. Most of the definitions in this part of ISO/TS 80004 are deliberately determined so as to be
in harmony with a rational hierarchical system of terminology under development for nanotechnologies,
although in some cases the hierarchical approach needs to be compromised due to the specific usage of
individual terms.

Nanotechnologies — Vocabulary —
Part 3:
Carbon nano-objects
1 Scope
This part of ISO/TS 80004 lists terms and definitions related to carbon nano-objects in the field of
nanotechnologies. It is intended to facilitate communications between organizations and individuals in industry
and those who interact with them.
2 Basic terms used in the description of carbon nano-objects
2.1
nanoscale
size range from approximately 1 nm to 100 nm
NOTE 1 Properties that are not extrapolations from a larger size will typically, but not exclusively, be exhibited in this
size range. For such properties the size limits are considered approximate.
NOTE 2 The lower limit in this definition (approximately 1 nm) is introduced to avoid single and small groups of atoms
from being designated as nano-objects or elements of nanostructures, which might be implied by the absence of a lower
limit.
[ISO/TS 27687:2008, definition 2.1]
2.2
nano-object
material with one, two or three external dimensions in the nanoscale
NOTE Generic term for all discrete nanoscale objects.
[ISO/TS 27687:2008, definition 2.2]
2.3
nanoparticle
nano-object with all three external dimensions in the nanoscale
NOTE If the lengths of the longest to the shortest axes of the nano-object differ significantly (typically by more than three
