NATO Supply Class 6850 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 68, which is dedicated to Chemicals and Chemical Products.

NATO Supply Class 6850 specifically focuses on Miscellaneous Chemical Specialties. These are chemical products that do not fall into any specific subcategory within the broader classification of chemicals.

Miscellaneous Chemical Specialties can include a wide range of products, such as adhesives, sealants, cleaning agents, lubricants, solvents, and other chemical compounds used for various purposes. These products are typically used in industrial, commercial, or domestic applications.

The purpose of classifying these products under NATO Supply Class 6850 is to facilitate the procurement and supply chain management of these miscellaneous chemical specialties within NATO member countries. This classification system helps ensure standardization and compatibility in the procurement process, making it easier for NATO forces to acquire the necessary chemical products for their operations.

It's important to note that the specific products and their corresponding codes within NATO Supply Class 6850 may vary depending on the version of the NATO Supply Classification (NSC) system being used. Therefore, it is recommended to refer to the latest version of the NSC system for the most accurate and up-to-date information on the classification of Miscellaneous Chemical Specialties.

FSC 6850 Miscellaneous Chemical Specialties - Norway (NO)

Includes Antifogging Compounds; Wetting Agents; Etching and Fountain Solutions for Lithographing; Blanket Repair Solutions for Lithographing; Antifreeze.

Note-In general, individual nonmedicinal chemical elements and compounds are classified in Class 6810. Combinations (or mixtures) of chemical compounds, or chemicals prepared in a particular vehicle (other than water) are generally classified according to use, in classes other than 6810. For example, the chemical compound DDT, is classified in 6810, whereas DDT liquid spray, the insecticide, is classified in 6840-Pest Control Agents and Disinfectants. Similarly items of supply bearing nonchemical names such as BLEACH; INSECTICIDE, ROACH; and ANTIFREEZE are generally classified according to use, in classes other than 6810, whereas corresponding chemical compounds, such as sodium hypochlorite solution, chlordane, and ethylene glycol are classified in 6810. Medicinal chemicals are generally classified in 6505-Drugs and Biologicals; in vitro diagnostic substances and reagents are classified in 6550-In Vitro Diagnostic Substances, Reagents, Test Kits and Sets. Excluded from this group are liquid chemicals designed exclusively for use as propellant fuels and oxidizers.
