Some Australian abbreviations for commonly used chemical are different than those used in the US. I donŐt know if there are other examples from other non-American English speaking countriesÉ.I had this pointed out to me a few years ago by some fine Aussie researchers.
If you have any international presence in your labs, you may want to check common chemical abbreviations/acronyms.

I think it is risky. There are to many definitions of the same abbreviation or acronym out there. When I teach my class on regulations, I tell them that LEPC means Local Emergency Planning Committee, but when I was in industry, it meant that or Local Employee Participation Committee, depending on to whom I was talking.

To Everyone,
What is your opinion of allowing laboratories to use abbreviations and short hand as long as a key to those abbreviations is kept in a conspicuous location and is clearly identified?
Thoughts? and Thanks
