Nanotechnology
IEEE has developed several standards related to nanotechnology, which typically focus on terminology, safety, and measurement methods.
Popular IEEE Nanotechnology Standards are:
IEEE 1650-2005 – Standard Test Methods for Measurement of Electrical Properties of Carbon Nanotubes
- Provides standardized test methods for measuring the electrical properties of carbon nanotubes, which are important for their use in various electronic applications.
IEEE 1690-2011 – Standard Methods for the Characterization of Carbon Nanotubes Used as Additives in Bulk Materials
- Defines standard methods for characterizing carbon nanotubes’ physical and chemical properties when they are used as additives in bulk materials.
IEEE 1733-2011 – Recommended Practice for Nanotechnology Ontology
- Provides a recommended practice for creating and managing ontologies related to nanotechnology, facilitating better data sharing and collaboration in the field.
IEEE 1789-2015 – Recommended Practices for Modulating Current in High-Brightness LEDs for Mitigating Health Risks to Viewers
- Although not strictly a nanotechnology standard, this standard deals with health risks associated with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) which may involve nanoscale technologies.
IEEE P3333.1.3 – Standard for 3D Body Processing: Bio-Cadaveric Data Storage
- This standard involves storing and managing bio-cadaveric data at nanoscale resolution, though it’s more aligned with biomedical applications.
IEEE P2410 – Standard for Biometrics Open Protocol Standard
- Focuses on establishing protocols for biometric data, including nanoscale data collection techniques.
