Analytical Chemistry Division (V)
Commission on Separation Methods (V.3)
It was originally created as a Limited Life Time Commission
(LLTC) at the IUPAC General Assembly in 1989 following a reorganisation
of the Commissions of the Analytical Division. From January 1994 it
was reconstituted as the Commission on Separation Methods in Analytical
Chemistry (V.3)
Aims and Objectives:
To consider separation techniques used in analytical chemistry
for qualitative and quantitative determinations and for sample preparation
including chromatographic methods, electromigration separations, phase
partitioning and related techniques.
Terms of Reference:
- To compile and recommend terms, definitions and nomenclature
for chromatographic and related separation techniques used in analytical
chemistry.
- To co-operate with other international and standardisation bodies
to harmonise techniques and methods for the standardisation and
regulation of analytical separation techniques.
- To co-operate with other IUPAC bodies in currently relevant and
important areas which employ analytical chromatographic and separation
methods.
How do IUPAC Commissions work ?
Members of the Commission or outside organisations propose
topics for study. These are considered by the Commission in the light
of the objectives of IUPAC and are proposed to the Division for adoption.
They are then assigned to a member of the Commission or an external
expert is contacted. The author prepares a draft paper which is discussed
by the Commission and a revised version is prepared. This is circulated
to interested parties, including Editors of Journals in the field,
and to representatives of IUPAC affiliated organisations around the
world and other standardisation bodies such as ASTM. It is also made
available for review by the analytical community at large by advertisements
in the press and journals and on the Internet. After further revisions
and consideration by IUPAC Committees including an inter-Divisional
Nomenclature committee, the final Recommendations are published in
Pure and Applied
Chemistry.
