Guidance on selected default values to be used by the EFSA Scientific Committee, Scientific Panels and Units in the absence of actual measured data
Open accessAbstract
This guidance of the Scientific Committee, prepared on request of EFSA, describes the scientific rationale for a number of default values to be used in a harmonised way across EFSA Scientific Committee, Scientific Panels and Units; it also harmonises the rules for rounding derived values, such as health-based guidance values. The aim of this guidance document is not standardisation and it is therefore always possible to deviate from the proposed default values, provided that the rationale for such deviation is described and justified. The Scientific Committee recommends that where default values are defined in legislation, these should be reconsidered in the light of this guidance document. Furthermore, the Scientific Committee recommends that the proposed default values and their possible impact for risk assessment should be discussed between relevant European bodies and international organisations for wider harmonisation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
