| Title | Ratio (Eu Lab) |
| Description | This profile constrains the Ratio data type to use UCUM as the code system for units and optionally share measurement uncertainty |
| Purpose | This profile of the Ratio data type imposes the usage of the UCUM as the code system for units and allows expressing uncertainty of measurement |
