A multilayer printed circuit having a control circuit including n vias that are connected in series between a first and a second electrical terminal so that an applied electric current passes at least partially through each one of the n vias. The control circuit includes track portions in each one of the layers, each one of the n vias connecting a track portion of one layer to a track portion of another layer. The control circuit includes a measurement device for measuring a potential difference across its terminals, storage for storing a threshold value and a comparator for comparing the potential difference with the threshold value so as to validate the printed circuit when the potential difference is lower than the threshold value.
