Test systems data formats¶
Test systems are the biological systems (e.g., animals) or in-vitro systems on which responses related to health effects can be measured.
Test Systems¶
Each test system should have a unique identification code (idSystem), and (optionally) a name and a description. The test system’s type (TestSystemType) indicates the type whether the test system is an in-vivo test system (in which case it is a model for external exposure) or any of a range of other, in-vitro, options (cell-line, etc., which all will be interpreted as models for internal exposure). Additionally, if applicable, the organ (e.g., liver) of the test system and the route of exposure (RouteExposure) for in-vivo test systems (oral, dermal or inhalation) may be specified.
