The agreement recalls that the order of 13 January 2010 reforming medical biology has foreseen, when the pre-analytical phase of biological tests is done outside a medical biology laboratory or an establishment, the establishment of an agreement between the legal representative of the laboratory and the healthcare professional. Each agreement may be established for a period that is fixed or not, and subject to termination at any time by one of the co-contracting parties.
