AED regulations in Beaurepaire

A multi-purpose hall or supermarket in Beaurepaire classified in categories 1 to 4 of French public-access buildings (ERP) has been required to have a DAE (AED) since 2020-2021; some category 5 ERP establishments are also affected, depending on their activity. Registering the device on the national GéoDAE database is mandatory. It currently lists only 8 defibrillators in the commune: within the CC Entre Bièvre et Rhône, there is genuine room for improvement among Beaurepaire's establishments.

Installing an AED in Beaurepaire

In a sports facility, the DAE should be installed near the main entrance, clearly signed and accessible, or even in an outdoor cabinet so it can also serve the neighbourhood. Every minute without defibrillation costs around 10% in survival chances. France Défibrillateur handles fitting, signage and GéoDAE registration, in Beaurepaire as well as in Saint-Jean-de-Bournay and Saint-Rambert-d'Albon (20 km).

Maintenance and training in Beaurepaire

A defibrillator in a sports hall is exposed to temperature swings and the occasional knock: the device needs regular checks, electrodes and batteries must be replaced before they expire, and an inspection is required after every use. France Défibrillateur offers preventive maintenance, included with hire from 50 € excl. VAT per month, and trains coaches, municipal staff and club volunteers in life-saving skills.
