IS/ISO/TR 12885 : 2008 : Nanotechnologies - Health and Safety Practices in Occupational Setting Relevant to Nanotechnologies

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical with ISO/TR 12885 : 2008 ‘Nanotechnologies — Health and safety practices in occupational settings relevant to nanotechnologies’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Nanotechnologies Sectional Committee and approval of the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council. The committee has now decided to adopt this standard under dual numbering system and make it align with ISO/TR 12885.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminology and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
