Yes, Cofrac is subject to a double level of control:
- by the interministerial delegate who exercises the functions of Government Commissioner to Cofrac within its Board of Directors and can oppose his decisions, particularly if they are deemed contrary to the general interest,
- during the peer audits carried out by EA/ILAC/IAF and intended to verify in particular the conformity of the operation of Cofrac with the ISO/IEC 17011 standard, and by the OECD within the framework of the GLP activity (Good Laboratory Practices).
