How to carry out a search

Entry of key words

Enter the key words that interest you. If you enter several words separated by a space, the search engine will indicate the documents containing all the words.

• Case (lower-case/upper-case), number (singular/plural) and gender (male/female) are ignored by the search system.
• accents are used for the search if the accented form exists in the results. If the accented form does not exist, the request is converted into the non-accented form. If the request contains no accents, the search is carried out without taking accents into account.

Search by list

Direct searches in the list of plants, laboratories and organizations is particularly suitable for finding information about a laboratory whose name is already known.

The list of laboratories per supervisory authority can be used to access the list of the laboratories related to each plant.

Search assistance

After entering your request, you can use the search suggestions on the right of the results page (in the frame entitled detailed search), to help you specify or expand your search.

Complex requests

If you wish to carry out complex requests (Boolean operators), use the following operators:

AND: space, + sign, AND.

To find the documents containing all the words, leave a space between the words, or use the + sign (attaching it to the words of the request, and by separating each word by a space), or enter AND (in capital letters) between each word.

Example: The request literal retirement AND contribution will find documents containing the words retirement AND contribution.

OR: operator OR.

Several words separated by OR (in capital letters with spaces between the operator and the words of the request) will find documents containing one or the other of these words.

Example: The request literal capitalization OR distribution will find documents containing capitalization OR distribution OR both.

EXCEPT: Sign -, EXCEPT, NOT.

To exclude a word from your search, attach the - sign to the word, or precede it by EXCEPT or NOT (in capital letters)

Example: The request literal retirement -distribution will find documents containing the word retirement BUT NOT distribution.

Sentences: Quotation marks

To seek a succession of words side by side and in a precise order, use quotation marks.

Example: graduated pension will generate a search only for pages containing the expression graduated pension, and NOT the pages containing graduated pension scheme.
