* Where a range of ODPs is indicated, the highest value in that range shall be used for the purposes of the Protocol. The ODPs listed as a single value have been determined from calculations based on laboratory measurements. Those listed as a range are based on estimates and are less certain. The range pertains to an isometric group. The upper value is the estimate of the OOP of the isomer with the highest OOP, and the lower value is the estimate of the OOP of the isomer with the lowest OOP.
