details of checkCIF/PLATON tests

This page provides a full listing of the tests that are carried out when you submit your CIF to the IUCr checkCIF/PLATON service. There is also a prefilter which checks for the data necessary to carry out the validation tests.

The tests check whether the data in a CIF are internally consistent and also whether the data meet defined standards. They have been designed by crystallographers who have a particular knowledge and understanding of current practices. The checking programs are constantly updated. Details of how to use checkCIF/PLATON reports are given elsewhere.
