Reporting of adverse effects
Services provided by our laboratories (analyses, ILPTs, etc.)

ANSES’s laboratories and the French Agency for Veterinary Medicinal Products (ANMV) offer a number of different services, mainly through their roles as national (NRL) or European Union (EURL) reference laboratories.

Who are these services for?

  • Approved testing laboratories: These services are primarily intended for testing laboratories approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. ANSES’s laboratories usually carry out second-line analyses, to confirm positive analyses performed by approved laboratories, or to refine analytical results (for example, the characterisation of an isolated pathogen or the speciation of heavy metals). They can also conduct tests to verify the proficiency of approved laboratories.
  • Government departments and their delegated agencies: Other services are provided for Departmental Directorates for the Protection of Populations (DDPPs), Regional Directorates for Food, Agriculture and Forestry (DRAAFs) or their delegated agencies, in particular as part of the surveillance and control plans organised by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
  • Companies: Some services, such as the verification of diagnostic reagents or the release of vaccines and veterinary medicinal products, are intended for companies.

These services are not for private individuals.
