notifiable
Requires official disclosure
Notifiable describes conditions or events that must be reported to authorities by law or regulation.
Certain infectious diseases are notifiable—doctors must inform public health agencies when they diagnose cases of tuberculosis, measles, or cholera.
The term appears most often in medical and legal contexts: a notifiable disease, a notifiable incident.
In some jurisdictions, workplace injuries or food poisoning outbreaks are also notifiable.
