GB/T39261—2020/IS0/TR13014:2012 Introduction
In recent years, with the widespread application of nanomaterials in consumer and other products, people have become more and more concerned about the health and environmental problems that may be caused by exposure to nanomaterials, especially nano-objects and their aggregates and aggregates (NOAA). Although there have been a large number of physicochemical studies on NOAA, most of these studies did not provide detailed physicochemical characterization data, or did not evaluate and compare the test results obtained. Given that different NOAA have similar compositions, specific chemical characterization is the key to determine the material under study and is conducive to the improvement of the understanding of the toxicity of nanomaterials.
This guide provides guidance for the physicochemical characterization of commercial artificial nano-objects before toxicity assessment (including human and ecological assessment). The purpose of this guide is to assist scientists in other fields to understand, plan, identify and confirm the physical and chemical properties of these materials before conducting toxicological studies. This is a prerequisite for biological evaluation and is consistent with other ISO standards. For example, ISO1099318 conducts chemical characterization of materials used in medical devices, and ISO14971 points out that toxicological risk analysis needs to consider the chemical properties of materials. Physical and chemical property characterization can provide important information for better understanding the relationship between toxicological test results and physical and chemical properties. This guide provides the following valuable physical and chemical characterization information to facilitate subsequent toxicological evaluation: How physical and chemical characterization fits in with NOAA's physical testing process: Physical and chemical characterization is the key to physical testing; What parameters are included in physical and chemical characterization?

Combined standard measurement uncertainty combined standard measurement uncertainty combined standard uncertainty (deprecated) In a measurement model, the standard measurement uncertainty is obtained by calculating the individual standard measurement uncertainties associated with the input quantities. Note: If there is a correlation between the input quantities in the measurement model, the covariance must be taken into account when calculating the combined standard measurement uncertainty.

Therefore, appropriate correction is required. NOTE 4: In chemistry, "analyte", or the name of the material or compound, is sometimes used as the term for the measurand.

4 Importance of Characterization of Physical and Chemical Properties Before Toxicological Assessment 4.1 Purpose of Toxicological Tests
Before commercializing new materials, risk assessment is required. According to the properties of the materials, physical and eco-physical evaluations are conducted to evaluate the potential effects of new materials on humans and the environment. Toxicological tests are used to evaluate the potential effects of chemical substances, including N)AA, on humans and the environment. The toxicity risk of a substance depends on its ability to produce toxic effects on organisms and the exposure dose. : Reasonable design of toxicological tests helps reduce the uncertainty of test results. The purpose of all toxicological tests is to obtain reliable information, including: - dose effect: different effects related to the intrinsic properties of the substance; - different effects related to different exposure routes; - type and severity of adverse effects; - mode and mechanism of action (including upstream biochemical mechanisms); - exposure during the susceptible period of the organism (such as fetal development); - carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and teratogenicity; - time course of response; - use of control groups, 4.2 General methods for toxicological testing and risk assessment 4.2.1 Overview
The potential risk and safety of materials to the human population and the environment are evaluated through the physical risk assessment method. As described in the Federal Government Risk Assessment: A Process Management Practice published by the National Research Council in 1983, risk assessment includes four steps: 1) hazard identification;
2) dose-effect/concentration-effect assessment: 3) exposure assessment;
4) risk characterization01.
Toxicology testing provides basic data for hazard identification, dose-effect assessment and exposure assessment. Through risk assessment, exposure estimates for occupational groups, the public or consumers can be obtained, personal protective equipment can be recommended, and hazard notification regulations can be compiled. 4.2.2 Hazard Identification
Hazard identification is the first step in risk assessment: it is used to determine whether a chemical substance can cause toxic effects. Relevant data are generally obtained through in vitro tests, in vitro tests, epidemiological surveys and human clinical studies. The test methods are repeatable and reproducible, so it is recommended to use standardized toxicology test methods.
Recently, based on ethical considerations, the academic community recommends the use of improved in vitro tests (exposing the materials to be tested to simple biological objects, such as viruses, tissue culture, and biopsy) and computer simulations to replace traditional in vivo tests (including experimental animals). This can reduce the use of animals and obtain relevant mechanism information (such as chemical cascade reaction processes or events). Examples of in vitro studies are the mechanisms by which chemicals bind to cell membrane receptors (e.g., lock-and-key models), how they stimulate signaling pathways and interact with cellular components: In addition, in vitro study results can also be used to design in vivo tests, where the ability of materials to cause effects (both expected and unexpected) can be related to their specific physicochemical properties, including impurities. However, obtaining information on their physicochemical properties is a prerequisite for effective toxicology testing. Based on accurate data on chemical properties, researchers can clearly characterize and describe NOAA, thereby identifying the same material, testing it with the same method, and ultimately obtaining repeatable physicochemical results. 4.2.3 Dose-effect assessment
Dose-effect assessment is the second step in the risk assessment process, which is used to examine the relationship between exposure and test system response (such as negative effects), and to clarify the relationship between material exposure dose and negative effects on exposed populations (environment): the assessment should take into account health conditions, age, gender, sensitivity or susceptibility related to population (environment) exposure, material size, intrinsic properties, variability and other modifying factors, as well as exposure dose, 6

Dose-effect assessment is the second step in the risk assessment process, which is used to examine the relationship between exposure and test system response (such as negative effects), and to clarify the relationship between material exposure dose and negative effects on exposed populations (environment): the assessment should take into account health conditions, age, gender, sensitivity or susceptibility related to population (environment) exposure, material size, intrinsic properties, variability and other modifying factors, as well as exposure dose, 6
-riKacerKAca-Improved in vitro tests (exposing the material to be tested to simple agents such as viruses, tissue culture, biopsies) and computer simulations are recommended to replace traditional in vivo tests (including experimental animals). This can reduce the number of animals used and can obtain relevant mechanistic information (such as chemical cascade reaction processes or events). An example of in vitro research is the mechanism by which chemicals bind to cell membrane receptors (such as the lock and key model), and how signaling pathways are stimulated and interact with cellular components: In addition, the results of in vitro studies can also be used to design in vivo tests, and the effects (expected and unexpected) caused by the material itself can be related to its specific physicochemical properties, including impurities. However, obtaining information on its physicochemical properties is a prerequisite for effective toxicology testing. Based on accurate chemical property data, researchers can clearly characterize and describe NOAA, thereby identifying the same material, testing it with the same method, and ultimately obtaining repeatable physicochemical results. 4.2.3 Dose-effect assessment
