Article 3: Description of the Service
General
When a request for analyses is issued, it is automatically implied that a contract is signed with AD Nucléis; the latter may then carry out the analyses as usual and reserves the right to choose the most appropriate analysis method to best meet the request issued.

The analysis service includes the performance of the analyses and the transmission of the analytical results, knowing that the use of these results is the responsibility of the Client who will implement, under its sole responsibility, the measures it deems appropriate. When the laboratory does not have the necessary means to carry out an analysis or is not able to carry out the requested analyses, it may have recourse to the
analyses, it may resort to subcontracting.

In the event of a quality defect in the samples submitted, the order will be rejected; the Client, duly informed, may proceed with the submission of a new sample. The deadlines for the completion and transmission of the analysis results are only given by the laboratory as an indication and according to its workload. Exceeding these deadlines may not give rise to any damages or interest, withholding or cancellation of the order in progress in favour of the Client.
c. Performance of analyses and transmission of results :
The laboratory will carry out the analyses according to the usual method corresponding to each type of analysis ordered, in application of the operating procedures drawn up by the laboratory.
