The Electronic Lab Data Checker is a software tool created to assist laboratories and data providers in the preparation of electronic data deliverables. Prior to importing data into EQuIS, errors in the EDD must be corrected. These errors include problems with unrecognized codes, improper field types, incorrect locations of data within the files and mismatched files.
Electronic data deliverables are checked for the following data problems:
- Field widths and data types
- Duplicated data
- Number and location of fields in the file
- Required fields are populated
- Fields that make up a key are both populated and the key is unique
- Reference values, such as CAS numbers, EPA method numbers, etc
- Deliverables are cross checked to ensure that samples, tests, results, or batches represented in one file are present in the related file |
