ASNM - French Agency for the Safety of Health Products

The National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (L’Agence nationale de sécurité du médicament et des produits de santé or ANSM) is the French government agency with jurisdiction over pharmaceuticals, biological products, medical devices, and cosmetics. Created by the Act of 1 July 1998, the ANSM functions under the Ministry of Health and has the authority to monitor and regulate health products.

It superseded the AFSSAPS (l’Agence française de sécurité sanitaire du médicament et des produits de santé) on May 1st, 2012 and received a broader authority to monitor and evaluate health products, as well as a greater budget. The ANSM also actively participates in standardizing and harmonizing regulation and practices on the European market.
