The Consumer Product Ingredients Dictionary is being developed to standardize and define ingredient nomenclature for companies engaging in the industry's voluntary Consumer Product Ingredient Communication Initiative. The dictionary will help assure consistency in the naming of chemicals for the Initiative. Because one ingredient can have several names due to the differing nomenclature used for various product lines, it is important to provide consistency so that companies participating in the Initiative are using the most common ingredient name. The First Edition of the CSPA Consumer Product Ingredients Dictionary will be issued in early December 2010 on a CD that contains all of the ingredient monographs approved through October 2009 by the CSPA Nomenclature Committee, along with many useful indices and appendices. Each ingredient monograph features the CSPA Name for the ingredient, a complete technical definition, plus further information on the ingredient functions, the types of products in which it may be used, regulatory references, other names used for the ingredient, and the trade names of the suppliers that have submitted applications. Included in the First Edition price will be three First Edition updates planned to be issued at no extra cost in March, June and September in 2010 that will add additional ingredient monographs and update existing monographs, as applications continue to be processed. A Second Edition is planned for December 2010.

This CD is currently available only in PC format. MAC versions will be available later this year.
