Article L6213-9 of the French Public Health Code

With the exception of not-for-profit laboratories, private medical laboratories are managed by a biologist in charge who is the legal representative.

When the legal structure of a medical biology laboratory allows for the existence of several legal representatives, these representatives are called co-responsible biologists. Medical specialists qualified in pathological anatomy and cytology may be designated as co-responsible biologists.

The biologist-co-responsible and the medical specialists qualified in pathological anatomy and cytology designated as co-responsible together carry out the duties and responsibilities usually assigned to the biologist-responsible.

Article L6213-9
A l’exception des laboratoires à but non lucratif, les laboratoires de biologie médicale privés sont dirigés par un biologiste-responsable qui en est le représentant légal.

Lorsque la structure juridique d’un laboratoire de biologie médicale permet l’existence de plusieurs représentants légaux, ces représentants sont dénommés biologistes-coresponsables. Les médecins spécialistes qualifiés en anatomie et cytologie pathologiques peuvent être désignés comme coresponsables.

Les biologistes-coresponsables et les médecins spécialistes qualifiés en anatomie et cytologie pathologiques désignés comme coresponsables exercent ensemble les fonctions et les attributions habituellement dévolues au biologiste-responsable.
