The Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology
(IEST)<http://www.iest.org>is a founding member of the ANSI-accredited
US TAG to ISO/TC 229
Nanotechnologies. IEST has been increasing its focus on
nanotechnology facilities and formed Working Groups (WGs) to develop
Recommended Practices (RPs).
A WG on Nanotechnology Facility Design and Construction will soon publish
an RP. Other WGs will meet
at ESTECH 2013 to continue to develop various Nanotechnology RPs. The
following meetings are open
to anyone who is registered for the three days of conference sessions,
which includes a discounted
academic rate:


   - WG-CC205: Nanotechnology Safety: Applying Prevention through Design
   Principles to Nanotechnology Facilities (Tuesday, April 30, 1 – 5:15 p.m.)
   - NEW! Vibration and Acoustics in Nanotechnology (Wednesday, May 1, 8-10
   a.m.)
   - NEW! Testing Aerosol-Nanomaterial Containment Devices (Thursday, May
   2, 8-10 a.m.)
