ISO/TS 21412:2020 specifies the characteristics to be measured of nano-object-assembled layers on electrodes by means of a solution process and of nano-objects constituting the layers for electrochemical applications such as nano-biosensor or diagnosis applications. It also provides measurement methods for determining the characteristics.

It does not apply to:

— the requirements of nanostructures by top-down nanomanufacturing;

— the subsequent coating of materials such as biomaterials onto nano-object-assembled layers;

— specific health and safety requirements during manufacturing;

— the experimental conditions of electrochemical sensing;

— the packaging, labelling, expiratory dates and transport of nano-object-enhanced electrochemical electrodes.
