Personal Licences (PILs)

An introduction

Personal licences are granted to individuals and authorise them to conduct particular types of regulated procedures on one or more species of protected animals. As mentioned earlier, as a Personal Licence Holder you are only authorised to conduct procedures that are specifically authorised on the project licence, and only for the purpose specified on the licence. You should always check that this authorisation is in place before starting any experiment. You should also check that the room that you are using for the procedure is authorised for that purpose on the Establishment licence.
