The Director General of the Regional Health Agency shall declare that the authorisation has lapsed. The three-year period referred to in the third paragraph of Article L. 6322-1 runs from the date of notification of the express decision granting the authorisation.
Authorisations are valid for five years. For the first authorisation, this period is counted from the day on which the positive result of the compliance visit provided for in the same article is noted. For the renewal of the authorisation, this period is counted from the day following the expiry of the previous authorisation.
Confirmation of the authorisation in the event of a transfer does not affect the duration of the current authorisation.
