I would highly recommend that you follow the current codes for this student.
Braille Code for Chemical Notation would need to be followed, as well as
Nemeth, and these codes are embedded within the UEB text. There are guidelines
to follow for each and a certified Nemeth Transcriber should be hired to do
this work, along with a proofreader.
If the student is taking chemistry, that indicates he or she is college bound
and UEB is not difficult to learn.
What is needed is to follow what BANA has listed on their web site:
www.brailleauthority.org This would include:
Braille Code for Chemical Notation, 1997.
Nemeth Code for Mathematics & Science Notation, 1972 Revision
Application of the Formats Guidelines 2011 to Nemeth Transcriptions
Guidance for Transcriptions Using the Nemeth Code within UEB Contexts
Guidelines and Standards for Tactile Graphics, 2010
The Rules of Unified English Braille, 2013
Braille Formats, 2016
I might be available if you are looking for a Nemeth Transcriber.

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That code is no longer valid.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?
