For naming conventions and safety reasons, chemistry is one of the earliest standardized domain. Besides the ISO standards, mainly its ISO 8000 series, the main international standards and norms in chemistry are:
- IUPAC Nomenclature (Color Books): The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) publishes a series of “Color Books” that provide standardized nomenclature and terminology in various chemistry subfields. These include:
- Red Book: Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry.
- Blue Book: Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry.
- Orange Book: Compendium of Analytical Nomenclature.
- Green Book: Quantities, Units, and Symbols in Physical Chemistry. It provides standardized definitions and symbols for quantities and units used in physical chemistry, promoting consistency in scientific communication.
- Purple Book: Compendium of Macromolecular Terminology and Nomenclature.
- Gold Book: Compendium of Chemical Terminology.
- White Book: Biochemical Nomenclature and Related Documents.
- Silver Book: Compendium of Terminology and Nomenclature of Properties in Clinical Laboratory Sciences.
- Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS): Established by the United Nations, GHS provides a standardized approach to classifying chemicals and communicating hazard information through labels and safety data sheets, aiming to enhance global chemical safety.
- Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Regulations: GLP standards, established by the OECD, provide a framework for managing and conducting laboratory studies, ensuring the quality, reliability, and integrity of chemical testing.
- REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals): Implemented by the European Union, REACH addresses the production and use of chemical substances, aiming to protect human health and the environment.

Compruebe dos veces los requisitos y la integridad (ejemplo de error: enumerar la norma sobre metales de tierras raras para una resonancia magnética no es apropiado. Una resonancia magnética no tiene imán real).
