With the July 30th 2004 memorandum, for the first time a text is specifically dedicated to the architecture of the autopsy room. This memorandum reaffirms certain technical specifications stated in the May 7th 2001 decree applicable to hospital mortuaries. It supplements or modifies certain elements, particularly liquid waste processing, which will require new arrangements in death chambers and new expenditures for hospital administrations. It includes the principle of precaution and requires a new approach to handling human corpses in the autopsy room.
