The presentation of properties observed or measured in the clinical laboratory sciences and the adherent units have been thoroughly discussed for some decades. Recently a list of properties in the domain of thrombosis and haemostasis has been published.
Similar lists are prepared for other domains, f.ex. trace elements and clinical pharmacology and toxicology.
The present list summarises the properties and units elaborated for various domains of the clinical laboratory sciences.

V. Properties and units in Thrombosis and Haemostasis - Synopsis
For historical reasons, the terms used in the nomenclature for properties in
thrombosis and haemostasis differ according to 'school' of thought. This hampers
communication. In collaboration, The Scientific and Standardization Committee of
The International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis and the Committee (Commission)
of Quantities and Units (in Clinical Chemistry) (C-QU(CC); from 1996-01-01 C-NPU)
of the IFCC-IUPAC have prepared a set of recommended systematic names for
properties in that domain. For use in electronic transmission each property has
been given a code value.

VI. Properties and units in IOC prohibited Drugs - Synopsis
The term designating a substance being an active ingredient of a drug may be
a generic name, a nonproprietary name, a registered trade name, a fantasy name
or other. This causes difficulties in the transmission of request and report on
such substances to and from the clinical laboratories, and in the collating of
this information from different sources.
The document comprises a list of properties of drugs of abuse in biological
fluids as defined by the International Olympic Committee Medical Code for use in
electronic transmission systems. Systematic names are presented with a code
value for each.

VIII. Properties and units in Clinical Microbiology - Synopsis
The document describes the use of the concept property and the presentation of
results in clinical microbiology. Systematic names in clinical microbiology
require the use of a nominal scale kind of property to describe taxonomy. For
this purpose the kind of property ”taxon” is introduced. The document
further lists properties commonly used in clinical microbiology. The document
follows the IUPAC-IFCC systematic syntax and this creates a basis for
integration of the format of clinical microbiology laboratory reports in the
general clinical laboratory sciences laboratory reports format.

IX. Properties and units in Trace elements - Synopsis
This document is the first recommendation on the presentation of trace
elements and their values in clinical laboratory sciences from IFCC and IUPAC.
It forms part of the ongoing effort to standardise requests and reporting of
laboratory data for transmission across cultural and languistic domains, without
attempting to standardise the language used by clinicians and laboratory
practitioners.
Subsequent documents deal with syntax, kinds-of-property, and properties and
units used in other areas of clinical laboratory sciences.

XI. Coding systems - Structure and guidelines - Synopsis
In ENV1614:1995 the system of concepts for properties in the clinical
laboratory sciences has been elaborated and in part I of this series the syntax
and semantic rules are presented.
The present document deals with the procedures for assembling the elements of a
property into a string of code values representing the intensional definition of
a property. This is done by use of semantic links that ensure the correct
localisation of the elements according to the syntax rules.
Further some special features needed in extension to the general structure are
presented.

The term designating a substance being an active ingredient of a drug may be a
generic name, a nonproprietary name, a registered trade name, a fantasy name or
other. This causes difficulties in the transmission of requests and reports on
properties for such substances in biological fluids to and from the clinical
laboratories, and in the collating of this information from different sources.
The document comprises a list of properties of drugs in biological fluids for use in

code value for each.

XIII. Properties and units in Reproduction and fertility - Synopsis
This document is the first recommendation on the presentation of properties
in reproduction and fertility and their values in clinical laboratory sciences
from The International Society of Andrology, IFCC and IUPAC. It forms part of
the ongoing effort to standardise requests and reporting of laboratory data for
transmission across cultural and languistic domains, without attempting to
standardise the language used by clinicians and laboratory practitioners.

XVI. Properties and units in Clinical Allergology - Synopsis
The subject field of clinical allergology deals with many hundred different allergens from all parts of the human environment and the number steadily increases. Not all of the allergens are strictly defined in chemical terms and procedures for detection of antibodies against the allergens in the human vary.
This document deals with the presentation of request and report on such properties according to some international rules and the allocation of code values representing the concept delineated.
The coding scheme thus prepared is imperfect and needs further elaboration as allergens become more well defined. It is a step toward harmonization, in particular as concerns the coding system applied.
The net outcome is a coding scheme for use in electronic transmission.
