Service Description

If you are unsure whether a substance falls under the Narcotics Act or the Basic Substances Monitoring Act, you can apply to the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) for an examination of the substance.
An examination by the BfArM as to whether a substance falls under the Narcotics Act or the Basic Substances Monitoring Act is subject to a fee. Before you apply for this, you should therefore check whether the substance in question is already included in the list of narcotics on the BfArM website.
