Article 1792-2 of the French Civil Code

The presumption of liability established by article 1792 also extends to damage that affects the solidity of the equipment elements of a structure, but only when these form an indivisible whole with the viability, foundation, framework, enclosed or covered structures.

An item of equipment is considered to form an inseparable part of one of the viability, foundation, framework, enclosure or roof structures when it cannot be removed, dismantled or replaced without damaging or removing material from this structure.

Article 1792-2

La présomption de responsabilité établie par l’article 1792 s’étend également aux dommages qui affectent la solidité des éléments d’équipement d’un ouvrage, mais seulement lorsque ceux-ci font indissociablement corps avec les ouvrages de viabilité, de fondation, d’ossature, de clos ou de couvert.

Un élément d’équipement est considéré comme formant indissociablement corps avec l’un des ouvrages de viabilité, de fondation, d’ossature, de clos ou de couvert lorsque sa dépose, son démontage ou son remplacement ne peut s’effectuer sans détérioration ou enlèvement de matière de cet ouvrage.
