scope:

NVN-ISO/TS 18110 aims to provide the necessary definitions that specify the bounds of key innovation indicators as they relate to nanotechnology, in order to facilitate and unify the global assessment of nanotechnology activities in different areas. The availability of these terms can help the measurement and comparison of various indicators in this field. This Technical Specification does not intend to redefine terms that are already defined in other ISO documents. Furthermore, there is no intention to show how the indicators can be used as an assessment tool.
