I have a senior year n high school who is still using EBAE and Nemeth. I live
in NC. The state has decided to go all UEB except for those students who are
currently juniors and above. In this case, I believe the Braille Code for
Chemical Notation would be appropriate.

Apologies for the question, as I'm just trying to get perspective:
When would it be appropriate to produce transcriptions in EBAE or other `old
code` braille?

David is correct if you are transcribing in UEB. However if you are just
transcribing in EBAE/Nemeth you can refer to the Chemistry Braille Code.

That code is no longer valid. UEB and Nemeth are the only legitimate sources
for chemistry transcribing. Go to the BANA website for information on
switching from UEB to Nemeth within a document.
You also should find out if your state, if you are in the US, uses Nemeth.
If not, then UEB is your only choice.
I do use the Chemistry Braille Code for reference on occasion though.

How does one become certified in the Braille Code of Chemical Notation 1997,
or is it just something you just have to teach yourself?
Thanks,

Can anyone out there verify for sure that the only source I need for
brailling chemistry is the Nemeth Braille Code for Mathematics and Science
Notation, or is there a separate source for chemistry?
