Nano Labs Corp. is pleased to report on the Fifteenth Meeting of the ISO/TC 229 Nanotechnologies Conference held last week in Queretaro City, Mexico.
Nano Labs was proud to sponsor two important events in the field of international regulations of nanotechnology, in the colonial City of Queretaro, in Central Mexico. The first was a joint Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)/ International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Expert Meeting on Physical-Chemical Properties of Manufactured Nanomaterials and Test Guidelines, and the second the 15th Meeting of ISO/TC 229 Nanotechnologies by the ISO Secretariat.
"Both events are among the most important events in terms of international regulatory policies and, for the very first time, were opened to the participation of private companies, among which Nano Labs had a distinguished presence. One of the major issues of the ISO conference is to establish a global ISO standard and regulate the safety issues related to the production and uses of nano particles in the manufacturing process on a global scale," stated Dr. Victor Castano, Chief Innovations Officer of Nano Labs, who attended the conference. "The presence of Nano Labs was significant for the development of the events, not only because of the sponsorship, but also due to the fruitful networking among industry, academia and government agencies that took place during these days."
"The ISO organization promotes worldwide proprietary, industrial, and commercial standard, this was an excellent opportunity for Nano Labs to take center stage at an International event," stated Bernardo Chavarria, President of Nano Labs Corp.
