# National Adhering Organizations

National Adhering Organizations (NAO) in chemistry are the organizations that work as the authoritative power over chemistry in an individual country. Their importance can be seen by their involvement in IUPAC. Currently, 57 IUPAC National Adhering Organizations exist.
