6. NWIP from member organisation Development of International Standards Process accommodates special needs Also ISO/TR for informative documents Approval – at least 5 P members agree to participate and >50% of members voting are in favour First level of consensus (amongst experts) { Second level of consensus (amongst members of ISO)

7. Why is nanotechnology important? US Interagency Working Group on Nano Science, Engineering and Technology (IWGN) workshop on Nanotechnology Research Directions (Sept. ’99): “ nanotechnology will be a strategic branch of science and engineering for the 21st century, one that will fundamentally restructure the technologies currently used for manufacturing, medicine, defence, energy production, environmental management, transportation, communication, computation and education .” “ It is estimated that Nanotechnology is presently at a level of development similar to that of computer/information technology in the 1950s ” (Nanostructure Science and Technology: A Worldwide Study, WTEC Panel report, 1999) US NSF report on “ SOCIETAL IMPLICATIONS OF NANOSCIENCE AND NANOTECHNOLOGY” March 2001: “ the impact of nanotechnology in the 21st century is likely to be at least as significant for health, wealth and security as the combined influences of antibiotics, integrated circuits and polymers. ” Projected world-wide market for n-t enabled products will be >$500 Billion but <$3 trillion by 2015
