Participation to RAEMA is based on an annual subscription by contract between ASA and your laboratory. Following the subscription, a number of laboratory and a password are attributed to each participant. The preservation of these codes is essential; they enable laboratories to input their results and to download their report, ensuring confidentiality.

Made for one year, this contract is extended by tacit agreement (Article 3 of contract). The amount of subscription is voted at the beginning of each year by the general assembly at which each member is invited (Article 1 of contract). Laboratories are then informed about the voted prices. Download the contract for powder RAEMA. Download the contract for powder RAEMA
