CSA Z5200-2017:2018 pdf download.Cellul ose nanomaterials - Blank detail specification
1.1 CSA Z5200-2017 provides guidance and a blank detail specification for cellulose nanomaterials (CNMs), for determining and listing essential properties and characteristics with reference to corresponding test methods in CSA Z5100 and other standards. CNMs in this Standard include cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), and cellulose microfibrils (CMFs).
1.2 Numeric values for properties and characteristics in the blank detail specification are intentionally left blank and should be determined by agreement between the customer and the cellulose nanomaterial supplier. Properties and characteristics deemed by the customer and supplier as not relevant to a specific cellulose nanomaterial or application may be classified as "not applicable" or "not specified" .
1.3 This Standard does not include detail specifications for cellulose nanomaterial-based nano-enhanced or nano-enabled products.
1.4 In this Standard, "shall" is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; "should" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and“may" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.
Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a
note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.
Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.
4.1 Blank detail specification
A blank detail specification provides a template that lists material properties and characteristics potentially critical to the quality of the end product. The specification includes information regarding the preferred measurement method for each of the specified material properties and characteristics.The blank detail specification does not specify numerical values for the material properties and characteristics.
This Standard includes blank detail specification for cellulose nanomaterials, including non-mandatory guidance as to significance of listed properties and characteristics. See Tables 1, 2, and 3.
4.2 Detail specification
Applicable material properties and characteristics in a blank detail specification can be selected and developed into a detail specification. A detail specification populates the blank detail for specific properties and characteristics applicable for a material's use in a specific commercial product. It specifies numerical values for the material properties and characteristics critical to quality of the end product. See Clause 5.2 for further guidance.CSA Z5200-2017 pdf download.
