A great deal of effort in recent years has gone into the development of spectroscopic techniques to probe the physical parameters of solar, stellar and other astrophysical plasmas. One aspect of this work is the calculation of plasma emission codes which are used to study EUV spectral lines. These codes require the input of a large amount of atomic data. In this paper, we present an overview of the atomic processes involved and an assessment of the accuracy of the parameters which are incorporated into different emission codes.
