# The differences between validated and non-validated import

{% hint style="warning" %}
Import functionality might need to be enabled by UMC. For assistance, [contact UMC](mailto:support@who-umc.org)
{% endhint %}

### Validated import

Requires that the ICSRs in the file capture some administrative and basic information, such as:   

* Report type  
* Reporter identifier  
* Designation/Qualification of the reporter  
* Patient identifier  
* At least one reaction/event – MedDRA coded 
* At least one suspect drug 

### Non-validated import

This option has no requirements for administrative and basic information to be captured in the ICSR.
