2007 Interactive Registration Document - Renault

TEST LABORATORY
Renault’s test laboratory, set up a number of years ago, is now attached to the
department of “Environmental protection and risk prevention”. This has made
it possible to develop skills synergies and implement a coordinated approach
in the areas of employee health and environmental protection. The laboratory
also manages “Chimrisk”, the Group’s chemicals database, which provides
all internal staff concerned with valuable information for preventing health
and environmental risks arising from Renault’s use of chemicals. A total of
6,534 products are listed at present. At the same time, the laboratory analyzes
the physical and chemical environments. In 2007 it conducted 1,684 tests on
air quality at workstations, and 1,800 analyses of physical environments (noise,
etc.) compared with 1,176 tests on air quality and 1,803 analyses of physical
environments in 2006.
