About Us

The EHSLC was formed in April 1992 following discussion between the Stewards of France, Britain and Ireland on the need for greater harmonisation in technical areas and their wish to encourage co-operation in research so as to face successfully future challenges concerning the illegal use of prohibited substances in racing.

Subsequently the racing authorities of Germany and Italy joined the EHSLC, and more recently the Scandinavian countries joined as a single group.

EHSLC was formally incorporated as an independent organisation in 2008.

As racing becomes ever more international, the Committee has extended a welcome, as observers, to other racing authorities within Europe and further afield.
