AED regulations in Thouars

A secondary school or a concert venue in Thouars classed in categories 1 to 4 of the French public-access building (ERP) system has been required to hold a DAE since 2020-2021; certain category 5 ERP are as well, depending on their activity. GéoDAE, the French national database on which registration is compulsory, lists 36 defibrillators in the commune. For 13,891 inhabitants and a dense network of establishments, this figure leaves needs still to be met: every minute without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10%.

Installing an AED in Thouars

At the entrance of a sports hall, in the foyer of a cinema or on the front of a shop in Thouars, the DAE must be signposted and accessible without obstruction. France Défibrillateur manages the complete installation: bracket, cabinet, regulatory signage and registration on GéoDAE. Establishments in Parthenay (38 km) and Chinon (42 km) fall within the same service area.

Maintenance and training in Thouars

The DAE in a Thouars school should be checked on the same schedule as its fire extinguishers: batteries, electrodes and the condition of the cabinet. Our team at 9 Rue des Champs Proust provides this preventive maintenance under contract, replacing consumables before they expire. Teachers, staff and employees can attend our life-saving skills training, organised on site.
