Highlights
► A standard is proposed for abbreviations of brominated, chlorinated and phosphorus containing flame retardants (BFRs, CFRs and PFRs). ► The standard is aimed to simplify and promote scientific communication related to BFRs, CFRs and PFRs. ► Structured abbreviations (STABs) are prepared in close relation to the chemical structure of the BFRs, CFRs and PFRs. ► Practical abbreviations (PRABs) are in general derived from the STABs or from commonly used abbreviations from the past. ► Established, emerging, novel and potential BFRs, CFRs and PFRs are defined.
