"TSCA Inventory": An inventory of over 58,000 chemical substances manufactured, imported or processed in the United States of America for commercial purposes, compiled in 1985 for the TSCA.

CONT

In English, each substance on the NDSL [Non-Domestic Substances List] is described in accordance with CAS [Chemical Abstracts Service] nomenclature. The resulting Chemical Abstracts (CA) Index Name derived following this rigorous and comprehensive set of naming conventions ensures a single, unique name for each substance. CA Index Names are also used in the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Toxic Substances Control Act Chemical Substances Inventory, Volume I (1985 edition), and their use for the NDSL ensures substances are identified in a similar manner in both jurisdictions.

OBS

Inventaire renfermant le nom de plus de 58 000 substances chimiques fabriquées, importées ou traitées aux États-Unis à des fins commerciales. Cet inventaire a été publié en 1985 pour le TSCA.

CONT

Sur la LES, le nom anglais de la substance est décrit selon les règles de nomenclature de CAS. Le nom de l'index du Chemical Abstracts (index CA), qui résulte de l'application de l'ensemble de ces conventions rigoureuses, assure un nom unique et particulier à chaque substance. Les noms de l'index CA sont utilisés dans le Toxic Substances Control Act Chemical Substances Inventory, Volume I (édition 1985) de la United States Environmental Protection Agency. L'utilisation des noms de l'index CA sur la LES assure une même façon d'identifier les substances dans les deux juridictions.
