Guidelines for ATCvet classification

The publication consists of a general part giving information about the system and procedures and data requirements for ATCvet classification and alterations. The second part of the publication, the interpretative guidelines, describes the different levels in the ATCvet system down to the 4th level. The comments included vary from one ATCvet group to another. No comments are given if the establishment of ATCvet codes is considered to cause no special problems.
