Severity level of the test

Select the Severity level of the test. The severity level controls how failed tests affect results.*

The following options are available from the drop-down list:

  • Reject: If the test fails, no interpolated concentrations and additional calculation results are reported. For reporting the overall test result, the test is considered 'Rejected'.
  • Warning: If the test fails, interpolated concentrations and additional calculation results are reported. For reporting the overall test result, the test is considered 'Failed'.
  • Information: If the test fails, interpolated concentrations and additional calculation results are reported. For reporting the overall test result, the test is considered 'Passed' (info available).

PLA 3.0 determines an overall test result from the severity levels of failed tests, as indicated in the following table:

Overall test result Failed tests of severity level 'Rejected' Failed tests of severity level 'Warning' Failed tests of severity level 'Information'
Passed 0 0 0
Passed (info available) 0 0 ≥1
Failed 0 ≥1 any number
Rejected ≥1 any number any number
Note: If tests cannot be calculated and return 'not calculated' (NC) results (for example, if Fieller's formula is needed to calculate test results and computed values are outside the valid range), the overall test result treats them like failed tests.

* When assay suitability tests fail, they affect every sample in the assay. Sample suitability tests only affect the overall test result of the individual sample.
