ISO/TS 80004-7:2011适用于纳米技术在医疗诊断和治疗中的应用。与纳米技术在医疗保健中的应用相关的术语也可在ISO/TS 80004的其他部分和其他文件中提及。 有关在纳米尺度上利用材料特性用于人类疾病诊断或治疗目的的术语属于ISO/TS 80004-7:2011的范围。纳米级特性可以体现在包含纳米级元素的材料中，或其本身具有纳米级尺寸。 ISO/TS 80004-7:2011为医疗专业人员、制造商、消费者、技术人员、专利代理人、监管机构、非政府组织和研究人员等提供了一致且明确的术语使用。

ISO/TS 80004-7:2011 is applicable to the use of nanotechnologies in medical diagnostics and therapeutics. Terms relating to the applications of nanotechnology in healthcare might also be addressed in other parts of ISO/TS 80004 and in other documents. Terms relating to the exploitation of material features at the nanoscale for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes in relation to human disease come within the scope of ISO/TS 80004-7:2011. Nanoscale properties can be embodied in materials that contain nanoscale elements, or are themselves of nanoscale dimensions. ISO/TS 80004-7:2011 provides consistent and unambiguous use of terms for healthcare professionals, manufacturers, consumers, technologists, patent agents, regulators, NGOs, and researchers, etc.
