Special rule(s) in the NPU syntax |
“Procedure” is stated in the specification to the kind-of-property in the NPU definition. “Procedure” indicates that the measurement procedure must be stated somewhere else than the NPU code and there may be difficulties in comparing values for the same NPU code. If the ratio scale is attributed to the NPU definition, the unit is a non-SI unit. If the unit is an International Unit (IU), an international certified reference material (e.g. WHO reference material) is specified in the specification to the kind-of-property. If there exist no an international certified reference material, the laboratory can specify the unit at the placeholder, procedure defined unit. If ordinal scale is attributed, no unit is stated. |

Generic abbreviated form | NPU08765 P—Thyrotropin; arb.subst.c.incr.(IRP 80/558; max. c. minus 0 min c.; proc.) = ? × 10-3 IU/L |
Full form with a result | NPU08765 Plasma—Thyrotropin; arbitrary substance concentration increment(IRP 80/558; maximum concentration minus 0 minimum concentration; procedure) = 4 × 10-3 IU/L | |
Abbreviated form with a result | NPU08765 P—Thyrotropin; arb.subst.c.incr.(IRP 80/558; max. c. minus 0 min c.; proc.) = 4 × 10-3 IU/L | |
Written expression | The arbitrary substance concentration increment of Thyrotropin in Mr. Smith’s plasma is [4] × 10-3 IU/L. The measurement is performed according to a procedure defined by the laboratory, where the result is maximum concentration minus 0 minimum concentration. “IU” and its magnitude is defined by the Certified Reference Material, IRP 80/558 from WHO. | |
