On joining Snitem, member companies pledge to comply with the legislation and regulations in force by signing a charter. A Code of Ethics and Professional Practice Committee made up of manufacturers has been appointed in Snitem to ensure that the commitments set out in the charter are honoured.

The French National Association for Medical Technology Industries (Snitem) is the first trade association in the healthcare field to be AFAQ ISO 9001-certified (since May 2006), which expresses a keen desire to continuously improve the way it works, not only vis-à-vis its members but also with respect to its national and international environment.


At employer level, Snitem is affiliated to three federations that are members of MEDEF (French Business Confederation):

FIM: The Federation of Mechanical Engineering Industries
FIEEC: The French Federation of Electrical, Electronics and Communications Industries
FEFIS: The French Federation of Healthcare Industries. This federation is an umbrella for the main trade organisations in the healthcare industry. It is a permanent member of the MEDEF’s Executive Committee and as such is a proactive force for our business sphere.
