NORIP: Some basic information on control data. Unit is the standard unit selected for the project. NORIP target: The preliminary target value chosen Ref. meth.: Reference method target NORIP mean: The mean from the project, some methods eliminated for instace for P-amylase and amylase CV: Coeffisient of variation of mean values of labs No labs: The number of values (labs) for calculating NORIP men and CV LQ mean: The mean of Labquality "short term servey" september 1997 (samples not sent deep frozen as in NORIP project) X: Calculated target value for X N: No of series used for calculation Goal opt.: Optimum goal based on total biological variation, (lnH-lnL)/32 where H and L is upper and lower reference limit from Malmø/Odense CVi CAL: Median within series CV for CAL (used to make the goal broader to allow for measurement uncertainty) Goal: Goal used for excluding series based on Goal opt." and "CVi CAL" HIGH/LOW: Median value for HIGH/LOW (ideally 2.000 for all except Na and Ca) HIGH/LOW Viros: Median for HIGH/LOW for Vitros instruments P/CAL: Median value for P/CAL X/CAL: Median value for X/CAL
