Compendium of Analytical Nomenclature
Encyclopedia
The Compendium of Analytical Nomenclature is a book published by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
(IUPAC) containing internationally accepted definitions for terms in analytical chemistry
. It has traditionally been published in an orange cover, hence its informal name, the Orange Book.
Although the book is described as the "Definitive Rules", there have been three editions published; the first in 1978 (ISBN 0-08022-008-8), the second in 1987 (ISBN 0-63201-907-7) and the third in 1998 (ISBN 0-86542-615-5). The third edition is also available online. A Catalan translation has also been published (1987, ISBN 84-7283-121-3).
