NEW COLUMN ADDED! 

 

We recently added a new column to ITER, entitled “IPRV – Independently Peer Reviewed Values”.  The IPRV column contains data from those organizations that do not meet the criteria for having their own column (such as having data for at least 40 chemicals) and whose risk values have undergone peer review outside TERA’s ITER Peer Review process.  In addition, we changed the existing column name “ITER” to “ITER PR”.  The ITER PR column contains data from those organizations whose risk values have undergone peer review through TERA’s ITER Peer Review process (https://tera.org/peer).  This independent peer review is convened by TERA through its Peer Review Program, and if the expert panel concurs with an assessment, it can be made available to the public on the ITER database.  These independent values can only be found on ITER.
