Legal classification of "borderline" products
The National Veterinary Medicines Agency (Anses-ANMV) is regularly requested in order to classify the legal status of products under French and Community regulations and to determine whether or not these products, their marketing, production and distribution are covered by the rules on veterinary medicinal products.
To this end, Anses-ANMV relies on the definition of veterinary medicinal product, in accordance with Article 4 1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/6 of 11 December 2018.
ANSES has drawn up a note setting out its position on the classification of ‘frontier’ products, namely whether they are covered by the regulation of veterinary medicinal products or other regulations. This note can be found here (PDF).
For any request or question concerning the legal classification of a product, you can contact the Agency at the following address : usm@anses.fr ou Qualif_ANMV@anses.fr
