Exemptions based on an injury test provide for the denial of access to requested information if disclosure "could reasonably be expected to be injurious" to the interest specified in the exemption. "Injury" in this context means having a detrimental effect. The fact that the disclosure could result in an administrative change in a government institution is not sufficient to satisfy an injury test. It must be possible to identify an actual detrimental effect on the interest specified in the exemption. 2, record 1, English, - injury%20test

In the context of an access to information or personal information request, the injury test is used to determine whether the information requested is covered by an exemption because its disclosure would likely result in harm to the interest protected by the exemption. 3, record 1, English, - injury%20test

The Amsler grid is a chart that is specifically designed to qualitatively analyze the disturbances of visual function that accompany the beginning and evolution of maculopathies. The charts are a series of lined and patterned grids that test the central visual field within 10 degrees of fixation where the plates are held at 1/3 of a meter from the eyes. Each square of the grid subtends [one] degree of visual angle, making the ability to define the location of small defects rather easy.... The Amsler grid test is quick and easy to administer. The patient is instructed to look at the central dot and asked if, in fact, he/she can see it. If not, the patient may have a central scotoma, and the examiner must query the patient regarding exactly what he/she "does" see. If the patient sees the dot, the examiner asks if the patient is aware that surrounding it are numerous squares. The examiner then asks the patient if any of the squares are distorted, missing, etc. 3, record 3, English, - Amsler%20grid%20test

... a simpler indicator laboratory test has been devised. This test takes from 24 to 48 hours to perform. The principle of this test is based on the fact that human and warm blooded animals grow in their intestines a family of bacteria called coliform bacteria. These organisms are usually harmless, but are relatively easy and inexpensive to test for. Since coliform bacteria are present in human and animal excrement only, whenever a sample of water shows a presence of coliform, the water is immediately assumed to contain human sewage and is therefore declared unsafe for human consumption. 1, record 12, English, - indicator%20laboratory%20test

Ces organismes sont généralement inoffensifs, et il est relativement facile et peu coûteux d'en déterminer la présence. Comme ces bactéries coliformes ne se retrouvent que dans les excréments des humains et des animaux, il faut conclure, lorsqu'il y en a dans un échantillon d'eau, que cette eau contient des déchets humains et qu'elle est impropre à la consommation. 1, record 12, French, - analyse%20de%20laboratoire%20par%20indicateur

Les mesures répétées d'un objet, réalisées dans les mêmes conditions avec un même instrument, doivent être fidèles, c'est-à-dire fournir le même résultat. Si les résultats varient de façon importante, classant, par exemple, un travail "excellent" un jour et "faible" le lendemain, l'instrument manque non seulement de fidélité, mais aussi de validité. (...) Pour évaluer la constance d'un test, il faudrait pouvoir l'administrer plusieurs fois consécutives et dans des conditions identiques à un même groupe de sujets. 1, record 17, French, - fid%C3%A9lit%C3%A9
