This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 2 December 2013 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and United
Kingdom.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

ISO/TS 13830:2013(E)
Introduction
It is generally agreed that nanotechnology brings benefits and better performance to enabled consumer
products along with possible concerns for adverse effects, which both raise issues about the public
awareness on the benefits and concerns.
As nanotechnology is implemented more broadly, the number of products using nanotechnology, in
particular the consumer products containing manufactured nano-objects, will increase. Any approach
to affixing a label to consumer products containing manufactured nano-objects (PCMNOs) should
ensure accurate communication about the product and its properties and avoid misleading labelling.
It is important that sufficient openness and transparency accompany the responsible introduction
of new technologies to the marketplace. Labelling can help consumers to make informed choices for
purchase and use. The labelling specified by this Technical Specification does not attempt to prejudge
either the positive or negative effects of consumer products containing manufactured nano-objects.
The purpose of the guidance in this Technical Specification is to provide a framework to facilitate a
harmonized approach for the voluntary provision of labelling for PCMNOs that may or may not exhibit
or impart nanoscale phenomena. This Technical Specification is designed as voluntary guidance on
conveying specific product information that a manufacturer may choose to disclose on product labels
and is not intended to provide mandatory labelling requirements, which are established by relevant
regulatory authorities.
This Technical Specification is designed for use by businesses and other organizations involved in the
manufacture and distribution of consumer PCMNOs. In order to conform to this Technical Specification,
all the normative clauses of this Technical Specification apply. A decision about whether to use this
Technical Specification is subject to voluntary consideration. Other parties such as authorities,
healthcare professionals, consumers, consumer organizations, environmental NGOs and trade unions
may also find it useful.
This Technical Specification provides guidance that does not supersede or substitute for any applicable
legal requirements. Product manufacturers and distributors are advised to identify and understand
applicable legal requirements and guidance issued by regulatory authorities. Products intended for sale
in a specific country or region should conform to, and the use of this document should not conflict with,
legal requirements for product labels and labelling established for that country or region.

Nanotechnologies — Guidance on voluntary labelling for
consumer products containing manufactured nano-objects
1 Scope
This Technical Specification provides guidance on the content of voluntary labels for consumer products
containing manufactured nano-objects (PCMNO).
This Technical Specification is not applicable to consumer products that contain naturally occurring
nano-objects that were not subjected to manufacturing processes. Consumer products containing nano-
objects that are incidentally present (i.e. unintentional by-products of a process) are also outside the
