Article L1121-16 of the French Public Health Code

With a view to the application of the provisions of the first paragraph of article L. 1121-11 and article L. 1121-12 and for the research mentioned in 1° of article L. 1121-1 concerning the products mentioned in article L. 5311-1, a national file shall identify persons who are free from any disease and who voluntarily lend themselves to this research, as well as sick persons when the purpose of the research is unrelated to their pathological condition.

However, the Committee for the Protection of Individuals may decide in other cases, taking into account the risks and constraints involved in research involving the human person, that the persons participating in the research must also be registered in this file.
