AVAILABLE NAME

Any name which conforms to all mandatory provisions of the Code (qv). There are general requirements of publication and date, language, name formation etc. An available name is not necessarily a valid name (qv), as an available name may be in synonymy (qv). Conversely a valid name must always be an available one. Available names include nomen inviolatum, — conservandum, — perfectum, — vanum, — correctum, — substitutum, — imperfectum (all qv).
