Enumerations and codes

The fixed classification values used across Erde records: statuses, types, units, roles, and codes. Use it to confirm an exact value when you read an API response, build an import file, or interpret a grid.

Each value has a Code and a display Name. The Name column in the tables below shows that display label, not the internal identifier. Responses send the Code (for example, MB for a method blank); requests accept the Code, the display Name, or the internal identifier, case-insensitively. Persisted values are constrained to the Code, so the Code is the value that travels on the wire and is stored. Where the two-argument form is used, the Code and Name are identical.

These values are fixed in the product and cannot be edited. They are distinct from reference data such as analytes, methods, the lab measurement-unit list, and matrices, which administrators maintain. The one exception noted below is the Matrix value set, which is editable reference data classified by the fixed Matrix type enumeration.

These fixed enumeration codes are also different from the Code you assign to a record such as a Site, Sample, or Lab Report — see Codes and names for that convention and the characters a record Code allows.

Laboratory operations

Status, classification, and run values for Lab Reports, Lab Analyses, and Lab Results. See the lab data reference for the full field tables.

Lab Report status

Code	Name
Draft	Draft
Preliminary	Preliminary
Approved	Approved
Rejected	Rejected
Validated	Validated

A new Lab Report defaults to Draft. Reaching Validated requires the current status to be Approved.

Sample origin

The origin of a report sample on a Lab Report.

Code	Name
Field	Field
Lab	Lab

Lab QC type

The quality-control classification carried on a report sample.

Code	Name
MB	Method Blank
LCS	Laboratory Control Sample
LCSD	Laboratory Control Sample Duplicate
MS	Matrix Spike
MSD	Matrix Spike Duplicate
LD	Laboratory Duplicate

Batch type

The kind of laboratory batch on a Lab Report. Batch identity is code + type within the report, so the same code can name both a preparation and an analysis batch. An extraction or digestion lot is recorded as a Preparation batch — the procedure itself is the analysis's Preparation Method.

Code	Name
Preparation	Preparation
Leach	Leach
Analysis	Analysis

Analysis run type

The kind of run a Lab Analysis records. Defaults to Initial.

Code	Name
IN	Initial
RA	Reanalysis
RE	Reextraction
DL	Dilution

Basis

The reporting basis of a Lab Result. Basis is result identity: one analysis can report the same analyte at more than one basis (wet, dry, and lipid-normalized siblings from a single run). For uniqueness it counts as dry vs lipid vs non-dry — As Received and Wet Weight both mean "no moisture correction," so two rows for one analyte differing only in that wording are duplicates. Lipid Weight applies to tissue chemistry; recording it on a non-biota matrix warns.

Code	Name
AR	As Received
D	Dry Weight
W	Wet Weight
L	Lipid Weight

Fraction

The analytical fraction of a Lab Analysis.

Code	Name
T	Total
D	Dissolved
TR	Total Recoverable
AS	Acid Soluble
E	Extractable
F	Free
S	Suspended

The screening fraction set (under Data analysis and screening) mirrors these codes and adds an Any wildcard.

GC column

The gas-chromatography column a result came from.

Code	Name
1C	Primary
2C	Confirmation

Time unit

Used for radiochemistry count time on a Lab Analysis.

Code	Name
SEC	Seconds

Lab result type

The kind of outcome a Lab Result records.

Code	Name
TAR	Target
SUR	Surrogate
IS	Internal Standard
TIC	Tentatively Identified

Uncertainty basis

The statistical coverage a lab reported its radiochemistry counting error and total propagated uncertainty at. Optional and never defaulted — when the deliverable does not state it, the field stays empty. Combined standard uncertainty is by definition 1-sigma and is not qualified by this value.

Code	Name
1S	1 Sigma
2S	2 Sigma
3S	3 Sigma
CL95	95% Confidence Level
CL99	99% Confidence Level

Validation level

The data-quality review level applied to a result. The set is a flat union of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stage ladder and a review-kind set; no rank ordering is modelled.

Code	Name
S1	Stage 1
S2A	Stage 2A
S2B	Stage 2B
S3	Stage 3
S4	Stage 4
R	Reviewed
PS	Project Specific
O	Other

Analyte purpose

Code	Name
Target	Target

Code	Name	Category
N	Normal	Field
FD	Field Duplicate	Field
SP	Split	Field
TB	Trip Blank	FieldQC
ERB	Equipment Rinsate Blank	FieldQC
FB	Field Blank	FieldQC

Sample status

The point a Sample has reached in the sampling process. Whether the sample has been analyzed is not a status — it is shown separately on the Samples grid, derived from whether any lab analysis references the sample.

Code	Name
Planned	Planned
Collected	Collected
Voided	Voided

Sample archive status

An optional, separate disposition for samples held in reserve as archives — independent of the sample status above. A sample with no archive status is not an archive. A planned archive is a sample whose status is Planned and whose archive status is Archived.

Code	Name
Archived	Archived
Disposed	Disposed

Chain of Custody status

Code	Name
Draft	Draft
Submitted	Submitted
Received	Received
