The provisions of article L. 1243-1 are applicable to bone marrow. For the application of these provisions to bone marrow, the issue of the authorisation referred to in Article L. 1243-1 is subject to the conditions set out in Article L. 1243-5.

Health establishments authorised to perform organ transplants must take the necessary steps to ensure that all documents relating to the transplant are kept for thirty years after the transplant. In the case of international exchanges of organs, the Agence de la biomédecine is also responsible for keeping these documents.
