AED regulations in La roche vineuse

The DAE requirement has applied to French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 since 2020-2021, and to certain category 5 ERP depending on their activity. In a commune of 1,570 residents such as La Roche-Vineuse, part of Mâconnais Beaujolais Agglomération, it is mainly these category 5 ERP that are concerned: the village hall, sports facilities, wine cellars and shops open to the public. Every device installed must be registered on GéoDAE, which currently lists 5 in the commune.

Installing an AED in La roche vineuse

In a linear village such as La Roche-Vineuse, an outdoor cabinet on the facade of a municipal building provides 24-hour access for residents and visitors alike. Our technicians work on site without a detour via Mâcon or Cluny (10 km each): siting study, mounting, standard-compliant signage and registration of the device on the national GéoDAE database.

Maintenance and training in La roche vineuse

Five DAE registered in the commune: a small fleet where any single failure carries real weight. From 663 Chem. des Pommerats, we check the condition of each device, replace electrodes and batteries before their expiry date and log every intervention. We also train local teams, because without defibrillation the chances of survival fall by around 10% per minute.
