CSA-Z5200-17 Cellulose nanomaterials — Blank detail specification.
5 Cellulose nanomaterial specification
5.1 Basic specification requirements
5.1.1 General
This Standard recommends appropriate measurement methods for each material property and characteristic. In the absence of adequate standardized methods for commercial use, the following minimum documentation requirements shall be met:
a) description of the sample preparation;
b) measurement procedure;
c) sample size and statistical significance; and
d) description of how the original measurement data are converted to the specified material properties and characteristics, e.g., data analysis methods.
The choice of measurement methods and procedures shall be made with respect to the application of the material taking into account the cost, robustness, reliability, and efficiency of the methods and procedures. Such methods should be agreed upon between vendor and user, taking into consideration whether standards that address these methods are available.
5.1.2 Recommended specification format
The properties and characteristics provided should be listed in the format of the following tables: Table 1 for purity, Table 2 for morphology, and Table 3 for chemical and physical properties.
General information about a cellulose nanomaterial should be provided by the manufacturer or product specifier, e.g., date of manufacture, batch or ID number, method of manufacture, etc.
5.1.3 Purity properties and characteristics
The requirements for purity of cellulose nanomaterials shall be reported in accordance with Table 1. Note: In Table 1, the rightmost column, Significance, is optional and may be omitted.
5.1.4 Morphology properties and characteristics
The requirements for morphology of cellulose nanomaterials shall be reported in accordance with Table 2.
Note: In Table 2, the rightmost column, Significance, is optional and may be omitted.
