Strategies for Producing Protective Identities
| Identification Category of Leachable | Protective Identification Strategy |
|---|---|
| Leachables with a confirmed ID | Safety assess the reported identity |
| Leachables with a confident ID | Safety assess the reported identity |
| Leachables with a proposed but unconfirmed ID | Report the primary (best match) identity and safety assess this candidate. Report other viable candidates and consider the candidate with the greatest risk of being toxic in the safety assessment. |
| Leachables with a partial identity | Safety assess the compound that fits the reported compound’s class and which has the greatest risk of being toxic |
| Unidentified | No protective strategy is appropriate, although it may be useful to establish that the compound is not a compound with exceptionally high toxicity (cohort of concern) |
