The transfer of the substances or preparations referred to in article R. 5132-58, whether free of charge or in return for payment, is recorded using a procedure approved by order of the ministers responsible for agriculture, consumer affairs, industry and health, which allows the competent authorities to monitor the operations carried out. These records indicate the name and quantity of the substances or preparations transferred, the date on which they were transferred and the name, profession and address of the purchaser.
Each transfer is given a serial number, which may apply to substances or preparations in the same delivery. This number, together with the name and address of the seller, is written on the packaging of the product in question.
By way of derogation from the provisions of the first paragraph, transfers need not be registered, provided that the commercial invoices make it possible to trace the transfer and its references.
The registration or the invoices are kept for ten years and may be produced at the request of the competent authorities.
