<br/>In 2017, the Braille Association of North America (BANA) asked the American Chemical Society (ACS) to help update the Braille Code of Chemical Notation. Their request stemmed from the differences in how individual textbook authors and editors would represent the same chemical concept. Differences in the ways that chemists represent the same concept made translation into Braille by non-chemists difficult. The ACS Nomenclature, Terminology and Symbols Committee worked with the Braille Association Chemistry Subcommittee to provide recommendations for updates and corrections to the 1997 code.  The committee has completed its review in partnership with BANA. The suggested and updates there were developed by the working group are being submitted to BANA.<br/>
