A police report from Andorra. They had to ask the hospital to take a blood test from the injured party because he could not take a breathalyser test.

I'm not sure of the correct term in English for this.

Many thanks in advance!

notice requiring compliance
Explanation:
If the question is expanded with the analysis, then there's no need to pin down the requisition part: notice requiring the conducting of an analysis.

I don't believe there's a formal procedure for such a police request in the UK.

formal instruction


Explanation:
I'm not sure that there is an English equivalent for this. The IEC gives "Instigació verbal o escrita, feta mitjançant una autoritat pública o una persona, perquè executi o s'abstingui d'executar un acte determinat." for 'requeriment'. The situation seems to be that a certain formality is required in Andorra (hence the 'diligència') for this type of obligatory medical intervention.

neutral  Nigel Wheatley: My only problem with this suggestion is that a "request" can be refused, whereas the sense of 'requeriment' implies obligation to conform. // was meant to be 'neutral, not 'disagree'
