The Chamber of Crafts and Trades (CMA) offers personalized support to companies wishing to obtain the state 'Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant' (EPV) label, which recognizes French artisanal and industrial excellence.

The 'Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant' label is a state recognition that distinguishes the excellence of French artisanal and industrial know-how. To qualify for this label, companies must meet several specific criteria.
Your CMA advisor can assist you with key steps: verifying your eligibility, completing the application file, gathering the necessary supporting documents, and submitting the file online. This service can be provided remotely or at your premises in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
It is important to note that this support does not guarantee the label's acquisition. The final decision rests with the Regional Prefecture, following an assessment by a specialized company, with an approximate response time of 12 months after file submission.
This service is intended for any company interested in the EPV label, whether for an initial application or a renewal, with no specific prerequisites.
CMA advisors are available to answer your questions from Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
