General notes to the chapter
ORGANIC CHEMICALS
General
The letters ‘(INN)’, after a name appearing in the Combined Nomenclature and the explanatory notes thereto, indicate that the name is included in the list of International Nonproprietary Names for Pharmaceutical Substances published by the World Health Organisation.
The letters ‘(INNM)’ indicate that the name is accepted by the World Health Organisation as an ‘International Nonproprietary Name Modified’.
The letters ‘(ISO)’ indicate that the name appears as one of the ‘common names for pest control chemicals and plant growth regulators’ in recommendation R 1750 of the International Organisation for Standardisation.
A fused system is one in which there are at least two rings which have one, and only one, common bond and have two, and only two, atoms in common.
Separate chemically defined organic compounds, presented as a food supplement in capsules (except microcapsules), for example of gelatine, are excluded from this chapter because the presentation in capsules is a treatment that is not covered by note 1 to this chapter.
