AED regulations in Besançon

Besançon has 355 defibrillators registered on the French national GéoDAE database, one of the densest networks in the region. Since 2020-2021, French regulations have required a DAE in public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4, and in certain category 5 ERP depending on their activity; each device must be registered on GéoDAE. Public bodies, campuses, shops and office sites across Grand Besançon Métropole: we audit your obligations and bring your establishment in the 25000 area into compliance.

Installing an AED in Besançon

Busy entrance halls, business parks, sports facilities along the banks of the Doubs: in Besançon, we identify the location that minimises the time needed to reach the DAE, install it with its standardised signage and then register it on GéoDAE. From Rue Berthelot, our technicians operate throughout the CU Grand Besançon Métropole and as far as Valdahon (28 km), Baume-les-Dames (30 km) and Dole (39 km).

Maintenance and training in Besançon

With a fleet the size of Besançon's, 355 registered DAE units, the challenge is no longer simply getting equipped but guaranteeing that every device will work when it matters. Our preventive maintenance tracks electrodes, batteries and self-tests, with full traceability. We also train your staff: a bystander who starts CPR and defibrillates early preserves survival chances that fall by around 10% per minute.
