Shipping of Laboratory Products

Starting February 17th, 2025, the SV Store will serve as the competence center on EPFL’s Ecublens Campus, for all shipment of dangerous products.

Any shipment of laboratory products, by road or air, with or without dry ice, must be declared. In order to comply with updated regulations, the following procedures must now be followed for each type of laboratory product:

  • Mandatory Product Declaration Form: Every shipment of laboratory products, whether containing dry ice or not, must be brought to the desk of the SV Store for shipment processing, accompanied by the completed, dated, and signed declaration form available here below. This form must include: 
    • Product name and description 
    • Format and volume/weight
    • Specific handling requirements or special conditions
  • Toxic or Hazardous Products: For the shipment of any product with known toxicity, users must contact the SV Store before dispatch to determine the appropriate and compliant packaging. Some containers may need to be ordered in advance from an external supplier, so early planning is recommended.
  • Dry Ice: If dry ice is required for the shipment, it can be ordered through Catalyse/Jaggaer (Laboratory consumables and equipment tab) directly at the SV Store desk at the time of dispatch, for more information please see the references here.

Important: No shipment will be processed without the declaration form duly completed, signed and brought in paper with the products to be shipped.
