Who Establishes Standardization Protocols in Catalysis?
Standardization protocols in catalysis are established by various organizations and research consortia. These include:
- International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC): Provides standardized definitions and nomenclature. - American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM): Develops standardized testing methods. - Catalysis Societies and Journals: Often publish guidelines and best practices for experimental procedures and data reporting.
These organizations collaborate with researchers and industry stakeholders to develop and update standards that reflect the latest scientific advancements.
