SEDD Version 5.0 (Draft) Valid Values Exceptions and Recommendations February 2006 Version 1.0 The SEDD Version 5.0 (Draft) valid values are the same as the ones used for SEDD Version 5.1 (Draft) (located at http://www.epa.gov/superfund/programs/clp/seddspec51 .htm) with the exceptions and recommendations given below. These values MUST be used for all data elements that require valid values. A. Exceptions: 1) Exception 1 - AnalysisType SEDD Version 5.0 (Draft) does allow the use of the null value as a valid value. The default valid value for a single regular analysis is null. SEDD Version 5.1 (Draft) does not allow the use of the null value as a valid value. The default valid value for a single regular analysis is 'Initial'. The rest of the valid values for use of this data element would be the same between these two versions of SEDD. 2) Exception 2 - AnalyteType SEDD Version 5.0 (Draft) does allow the use of the null value as a valid value. The default valid value for a method target analyte is null. SEDD Version 5.1 (Draft) does not allow the use of the null value as a valid value. The default valid value for a method target analyte is 'Target'. The rest of the valid values for use of this data element would be the same between these two versions of SEDD. 3) Exception 3 - QCType SEDD Version 5.0 (Draft) does allow the use of the null value as a valid value. The default valid value for a regular field sample is null. SEDD Version 5.1 (Draft) does not allow the use of the null value as a valid value. The default valid value for a regular field sample is 'Field_Sample'. The rest of the valid values for use of this data element would be the same between these two versions of SEDD. 4) Exception 4 - ResultType SEDD Version 5.0 (Draft) does allow the use of the null value as a valid value. The default valid value for an analyte that is reported as not detected is null. 1 ------- SEDD Version 5.1 (Draft) does not allow the use of the null value as a valid value. The default valid value for an analyte that is reported as not detected is 'Not_Detected'. The rest of the valid values for use of this data element would be the same between these two versions of SEDD. B. Recommendations: 1) Recommendation 1 - AnalyteName SEDD Version 5.0 (Draft) defines the AnalyteName to be the common name for the analyte. This common name is defined by the client. SEDD Version 5.1 (Draft) defines the AnalyteName to be the official name for the analyte as based on the nomenclature rules as defined in the accompanying AnalyteNameContext data element. The common name for any given analyte as defined by the client would now be reported using the new data element ClientAnalyteName. Therefore, the valid values will be different for this data element between these two versions of SEDD. If the client using SEDD Version 5.0 (Draft) has not already defined any common names for their analytes, it is highly recommended that the client use the SEDD Version 5.1 (Draft) valid values for AnalyteName. This will make migration to SEDD Version 5.1 (Draft) much easier. 2) Recommendation 2 - MatrixID - Use SEDD Version 5 .1 (Draft) Valid Values 3) Recommendation 3 - ClientMethodID - Use SEDD Version 5.1 (Draft) MethodID Valid Values 4) Recommendation 4 - ClientAnalytelD - Use the CAS Registry Number 5) Recommendation 5 - Result Basis - Use the SEDD Version 5.1 (Draft) ResultBasis Valid Values The
