The Croatian translation of the "Compendium" does not exist as a separate complete compilation. The "Compendium", however, could be considered as having been completely translated into Croatian, because the individual recommendations corresponding to all the 9 chapters of the "Compendium" were translated, as indicated below, in 1988 and 1993.

For the sake of completeness, references to the first publication of each recommendation in Pure Appl. Chem. are included.
