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. |

Example 1 | |
Generic abbreviated form | NPU58256 Synf(spec.)—Synovial fluid; arb.viscosity(proc.) = ? | |
Full form with a result | NPU58256 Synovial fluid(specification)—Synovial fluid; arbitrary viscosity(procedure) = high | |
Abbreviated form with a result | NPU58256 Synf(spec.)—Synovial fluid; arb.viscosity(proc.) = high | |
Written expression | The arbitrary viscosity of synovial fluid from Mr. Smith’s right knee is [high] compared with the arbitrary viscosity of synovial fluid of a reference system. The measurement is performed according to a procedure defined by the laboratory. | |
