AED regulations in Ychoux

A community hall or school in Ychoux may fall under the French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4, which have been required to have a DAE (AED) since 2020-2021; certain category 5 ERPs are also affected depending on their activity. The French national GéoDAE database, on which registration is mandatory, lists only 7 defibrillators in Ychoux. In an area where the emergency services may have to travel a long way, and with every minute without defibrillation reducing the chances of survival by around 10%, every additional device counts.

Installing an AED in Ychoux

For the village hall or town hall in the 40160 area, an outdoor cabinet on the front of the building keeps the DAE accessible at all times, including outside opening hours. Our technicians fit the mounting bracket, install the standardised signage and complete the GéoDAE registration. They travel throughout the commune and beyond, to Rion-des-Landes (44 km) and Castets (53 km).

A municipal DAE installed in Ychoux must remain reliable between events that may be weeks apart.
