About this statute

Rooms used for dissection and corpse storage in anatomy chambers must meet minimum size and ceiling-height standards. Anatomy rooms may be opened only with the required operating permit, and the premises must meet specific hygiene and construction standards. The conditions for setting up and operating anatomy chambers are set by the General Regulation annexed to this ordinance. Infractions to this ordinance and its general regulations are punishable by up to two months’ imprisonment and/or a fine up to 2,000 francs. The annexed hygiene rules also require wastewater collection, biological treatment before discharge, chemical treatment before sewer or soakaway disposal, and approval from the Public Health Service for any soakaway location. Waste and debris from dissection premises must be destroyed using an incinerator set up so it does not cause nuisance to nearby surroundings.
