EDF Guidelines

EDF data standard describes data format specifications for an environmental laboratory report. Although EDF data does not look like a laboratory report, its content includes all the information required to reconstruct a laboratory report document.   By standardizing the data in a laboratory report, EDF data may be combined with EDF data from other laboratories without additional manipulation.
