It is not mandatory to provide all of the following types of analysis (measurement types) to the repository, the selection of the analysis is up to the user. Highly recommended is the provision of all data that is needed for proving evidence for the characterized compounds.
The following list contains the file formats that should be available. In many cases, the repository assists with automated processing of files. An example is the processing of zip files to jcamp files and images (alternatively the processing of jcamp files to images). If users provide files that can be processed (in that case zip and/or jcamp), additional files (e.g. images) are not necessary. An exception to this rule is [1].

[SHP1] According to Table "mass spectrometry", the file needs to be opened and a new line on the top of the file has to be inserted: line1:
"mass_spectrometry, general_xy"
This additional line allows to identify the file and enables conversion.
