International standardisation for the analysis of particle size and shape
Sympatec is an active member of the ISO/TC24/SC4 ‘Particle Characterization‘ committee and has been contributing to the development of national and international standards in this field for more than 30 years. SC4 focuses on the characterisation of particles, including size, shape, and other physical properties, and comprises both published and draft standards currently under development. Dr Köhler, Sympatec's R&D Director, currently serves as Chairman of the overarching ISO/TC24 'Particle Characterization Including Sieving' committee. Meanwhile, Dr Witt, Sympatec's former Technical Director and current Operating Partner, held the position of Chairman of ISO/TC24/SC4 from 2017 to 2023. Dr Köhler also took over the chairmanship of Working Group 8 for image analysis methods from Dr Witt in 2017.
Further information on the committees and their standardisation activities is available on the official ISO website:
Below, you can find a list of the ISO standards from the working groups in which Sympatec actively participates, all of which are relevant to our instruments for particle size and shape analysis.
