Article L212-5 of the French Sports Code

In martial arts sports, no one may claim a dan or equivalent grade that recognises sporting qualities, technical knowledge and, where applicable, competitive performance unless it has been awarded by the specialised commission for dan and equivalent grades of the delegating federation or, failing that, the approved federation devoted exclusively to martial arts.

An order by the Minister for Sport sets the list of federations mentioned in the first paragraph.

Dans les disciplines sportives relevant des arts martiaux, nul ne peut se prévaloir d’un dan ou d’un grade équivalent sanctionnant les qualités sportives et les connaissances techniques et, le cas échéant, les performances en compétition s’il n’a pas été délivré par la commission spécialisée des dans et grades équivalents de la fédération délégataire ou, à défaut, de la fédération agréée consacrée exclusivement aux arts martiaux.

Un arrêté du ministre chargé des sports, fixe la liste des fédérations mentionnées au premier alinéa.
