Contact: From suspicion to report

An expert report on the bottle for consumers, a forensic expert report or consultancy for businesses and law firms, investigative support and urgent requests for the authorities: in the form, the subject you choose sets the route.

Who is writing? Consumers, businesses and law firms, institutions: select a subject and describe the case.

For a seizure in progress, write to the PEC address with URGENT in the subject line and a telephone number where you can be reached.

Confidentiality

What enters the laboratory stays confidential, within the limits of the law.

Exhibits, photos and case data stay in the case file and follow the laboratory's chain of custody. They are not shown to anyone without the client's written consent, except when the law or the judicial authorities require it, or when there is a risk to health. They may be used in the laboratory's reference archive, but with nothing that could identify the client; the archive is not passed on to third parties.
