S13 Associated Organizations
- The Council may decide to associate with existing international organizations whose aims and activities are in harmony with those of the Union. Their international scope of activities, with no a priori limitation to a part of the world, shall be explicit in their title or statutes. In the case of apparent competition with another international organization already associated with IUPAC, the Council shall make a choice and decide with which organization IUPAC wishes to be associated, while avoiding to associate with both at the same time. These organizations shall then be known as Associated Organizations of the Union.
