AED regulations in Saintes

With 76 defibrillators registered on the national GéoDAE database, Saintes already has a well-developed network, consistent with its role as a hub in Charente-Maritime. The regulations remain the foundation: French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 have been required to be equipped with a DAE since 2020-2021, some category 5 ERP are also covered depending on their activity, and every device must be registered on GéoDAE. Establishments opening or changing use across the urban area are directly concerned.

Shopping streets in the old town centre, the banks of the Charente, sports facilities and business parks on the outskirts: in Saintes, DAE placement is best planned around footfall.
