In the latest version of the IRIS portal, a modified screen for the request of research product identifier (RPI) has been introduced, with additional automated validation rules that will ensure data quality:
- a domain has to be specified for each new RPI as either "human use" or "veterinary use" (if both are foreseen, two RPIs should be requested). For "human use" RPIs, it is not possible to include substances that have "veterinary use" as their domain. For "veterinary use" RPIs, it is possible to include substances of any domain ("human use" and/or "veterinary use").
- it is now mandatory to specify the "nature of the active substance" for each substance included in the RPI.
It is now also possible to add information on the mechanism of action (this is not mandatory).
Please note that the substances with "veterinary use" domain come from a list that is being updated and cleaned, so it is possible to encounter a few duplicates or language variants of the same substance. Thus, for veterinary RPIs please select the most appropriate substance (the substance may be changed later if necessary and appropriate).
