AED regulations in istres

The rule is straightforward: since 2020-2021, all French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 must be equipped with a defibrillator, and some category 5 ERP are also required to comply depending on their activity. In a town the size of Istres, this concerns numerous sites: sports facilities, shopping centres and reception venues. The national GéoDAE register already lists 104 declared defibrillators in the commune, and every new device must be registered there by law.

Installing an AED in istres

Where should the device be placed? The regulatory approach favours a location that is visible, accessible and clearly signposted. In Istres, our installers work from the centre at 1 Av. du Tube to fit the cabinet and standardised signage, and to complete the GéoDAE declaration on your behalf. We also cover the neighbouring communes, from Salon-de-Provence (17 km) to Vitrolles (25 km), and as far as Arles, 34 km away.

Maintenance and training in istres

A DAE (AED) is only compliant if it works on the day it is needed. Our technicians carry out preventive maintenance across the fleet in Istres: checking electrodes and batteries, monitoring expiry dates and updating the GéoDAE declaration. We also train your teams in life-saving techniques, an essential point given that every minute without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10%.
