1. Rationale
In an effort to reduce occurrences of multiple definitions for a single term, Committee F04 approved and has now initiated a terminology consolidation and harmonization effort [See Revision of Bylaws Section 6.4, F04 (09-03), Item 1 and WK25756, F04 (09-05), Item 14]. The new provision encourages both the identification of multiple definitions and the generation of proposals for their resolution. In an effort to continue this process, ENDOTOXIN is now being proposed as a candidate for definition harmonization. This particular work and ballot item is in specific regard to the modification of the existing definition of ENDOTOXIN - solely within the F2212 document.
