JRC releases world's first certified mixture of silica nanoparticles

4^th November 2015

For the first time a certified reference material containing silica nanoparticles with a distinct bimodal size distribution has been released by JRC-IRMM. It has been designed and produced to support the implementation of the nanomaterial definition recommended by the European Commission (2011/696/EU).

The Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM) of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) has developed a certified reference material (CRM) that consists of a mixture of near-spherical silica nanoparticles of two distinct sizes (nominally 20 nm and 80 nm in diameter) in an aqueous solution.
