Data collection is an important task of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and a fundamental component of risk assessment. EFSA receives a large volume of data from Member States and other reporting countries in support of its risk assessments. To facilitate data reporting, EFSA regularly publishes reporting guidance documents for the different data collections.
This guidance covers the technical aspects of reporting laboratory data for the African swine fever (ASF) data collection.
The objective of this report is to present the individual data elements that are included and to provide specific reporting guidelines through detailed examples. Additional information about the data type, the list of controlled terminologies (catalogues of allowed terms) and business rules or any additional requirements that apply for the ASF data collection are also described.
