Vehicles used to transport corpses before coffining are subject to a compliance inspection every three years at most. The prefect designates the body or bodies responsible for carrying out the compliance inspection from among the accredited inspection bodies in accordance with the provisions of Article D. 2223-113.
An inspection must also be carried out after any total or partial replacement or any modification or repair of a casing or cooling device of the burial compartment. The report shall be sent without delay by the purchaser to the prefect competent to issue authorisation in the funeral field.
The prefect may at any time order that the vehicle undergo a compliance inspection within a period that he prescribes, as necessary.
