nomenclature codes

Nomenclature codes are standardized systems used to organize and classify names of biological organisms, chemicals, or products. They ensure consistent, universal naming conventions across science and industry, reducing confusion. For example, biological taxonomy uses codes like the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) to regulate scientific names. Similarly, chemical naming follows the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) standards. These codes facilitate clear communication, accurate identification, and data sharing among professionals worldwide by providing clear rules for how names are created and organized.
