Note that this example makes use of TOCAT (Category of Tobacco Product ID Element, a permissible variable) to emphasize and differentiate the two different types of parameters represented in TO:   tobacco product identifiers and tobacco product descriptors.

PTCAT is a required variable , and is set to "DESIGN PARAMETER TESTING" for all records here. Typically, applicants would submit data on each parameter in multiple replicates. For simplicity of review, only one replicate per parameter is shown. Note that PTREPNUM (repetition number) =1 for all rows.
