AED regulations in poitiers

Since 2020-2021, French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 have been required to be equipped with a defibrillator, along with certain category 5 ERP depending on their activity. In Poitiers, the central city of the Grand Poitiers urban community, this applies to a large number of establishments. The national GéoDAE register already lists 271 declared defibrillators in the commune, yet our teams still come across devices in the field that were installed without ever being declared, even though registration on GéoDAE is a legal requirement.

Installing an AED in poitiers

When working in Poitiers, our installers favour visible, accessible locations: reception halls, main entrances, or an outdoor heated cabinet on the building facade for round-the-clock access. Every minute without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10%, which is why a device must be reachable within three minutes. Installation includes mounting, the regulatory signage and registration on GéoDAE, anywhere in the 86000 area and across Grand Poitiers.

Maintenance and training in poitiers

What our technicians see most often in Poitiers: expired electrode pads and weak batteries on devices fitted several years ago and then forgotten. With 271 DAE (AED) units declared on GéoDAE, the city's installed base deserves structured follow-up. Our preventive maintenance contracts cover periodic checks and the replacement of consumables, and our trainers teach your teams life-saving skills on site.
