(Established in 1949)
Division
Rules
1. The mission of the Analytical Chemistry Division
is to promote pure and applied analytical chemistry.
See Terms of Reference
2. Under the Statutes, Bylaws, and policies of the Union,
the Division is managed by its Division Committee. S10
and B4.1 and
their subsections are particularly relevant. The Division Committee
is responsible for initiating and managing scientific projects, symposia
and other activities within its area of responsibility and for cooperating
with other Divisions in initiating and managing interdisciplinary
projects, symposia and other activities.
3. In accord with Bylaw B4.103,
the composition of the Division Committee is as follows:
a. No more than 10 Titular Members (including all
Officers as defined below)
b. No more than six Assosciate Members
c. No more than six National Representatives
4.
- Titular Members of the Division Committee are nominated
and elected for a term of two years by the electorate defined in
B4.103 and Bureau decisions pursuant to B4.103. Candidates for titular
membership are nominated by the Nominating Committee described below.
- Associate Members may be elected by the Division Committee, for
a term of two years, subject to reelection for a second two-year
term, as provided in B4.103.

- Interim appointments to fill vacancies on the Division Committee
occurring between meetings may be made by the Division President,
after consultation with the other Division Officers, for a term
ending at the end of the year in which the next General Assembly
is held. Interim appointments are subject to approval by the Bureau
or Executive Committee.
5. Candidates for Titular Member of the Division Committee
are named by a Nominating Committee, prescribed by IUPAC policy and
procedures defined by the Bureau, as follows:
- The nominating committee consists of five members [subject
to an exception by the Bureau], with no more than two members from
the existing Division Committee and the other three chosen from
outside IUPAC on the basis of the breadth of their expertise. The
Division President will not be a member of the Nominating Committee.
- The Nominating Committee is appointed by the Division President
with the concurrence of the IUPAC Executive Committee.
- Nominees should be scientists from academia, government and industry
with the expertise and experience necessary to maintain a Division
Committee with appropriate scientific stature and breadth. Categories
of vacancies may be established by the Division Committee if desired
to ensure diversity in subject matter, geographic distribution,
or other characteristics. More than one nominee for each vacancy
is desirable but not required.
6. Elections shall be conducted by e-mail (or ordinary
mail as necessary) under procedures defined by the IUPAC Secretariat.
7. The Officers of the Division are as follows:
- The President is the administrative head of the Division,
presides at meetings of the Division Committee, and is an ex
officio member of all bodies of the Division. The President
serves as a member of the Bureau and is the principal representative
of the Division within and outside the Union.
- The Vice President (President-elect) acts for the President in
his absence and assists the President as requested. He shall assume
the office of Division President in the event of the President being
unable to perform the functions of that office, without prejudice
to the forthcoming period of office as President.
- The Secretary assists the President in carrying out the business
of the Division and maintains the records of the Division.
- The immediate Past President assists the President as requested.
8. With the advice of the President of the Union, Officers of the
Division are elected by the Division Committee, subject to final approval
by the Council. The Officers together form an Executive Committee
to act for the Division Committee between meetings. Subject to limitations

- The President, Vice-President (President-elect), and Past
President each serve a term of two years, not subject to reelection.
- The Secretary serves a term of four years and is eligible for

The Division Committee may establish and the Division
President may appoint subsidiary bodies, such as subcommittees,
working parties and advisory groups, which will all have the status
of Division subcommittees, as described in S10.6. The terms of reference
or charge to each group, as well as its lifetime, shall be established
by the Division Committee. Task groups will be formed to carry out
specific projects under general IUPAC policies for the conduct of
projects.
-
The Division Committee may propose to the Bureau
the establishment of Commissions, with terms of reference and lifetimes,
under the provisions of B4.301.

10. These Rules may be amended by the Division Committee,
subject to approval by the Council.
