ISO/TS 80004-12:2016列出了与纳米技术中量子现象相关的术语和定义。 所有这些术语对于纳米技术来说都是重要的，但应该注意的是，它们中的许多并不完全与纳米尺度相关，并且在一定程度上也可以用来指代更大的尺度。 所提出的术语列表并不声称对纳米技术的全部量子概念和现象进行详尽的报道。它涵盖了来自学术界，工业界等众多利益相关方认可的重要现象。 ISO/TS 80004-12:2016旨在促进行业内的组织和个人以及与他们互动的组织和个人之间的沟通

ISO/TS 80004-12:2016 lists terms and definitions relevant to quantum phenomena in nanotechnologies. All of these terms are important for nanotechnologies, but it is to be noted that many of them are not exclusively relevant to the nanoscale and can also be used to some extent to refer to larger scales. The list of terms presented does not claim to provide exhaustive coverage of the whole spectrum of quantum concepts and phenomena in nanotechnology. It covers important phenomena as acknowledged by many stakeholders from academia, industry, etc. ISO/TS 80004-12:2016 is intended to facilitate communication between organizations and individuals in industry and those who interact with them.
