Article L4311-1 of the French Labour Code

Work equipment intended to be exhibited, offered for sale, sold, imported, hired out, made available or transferred for any purpose whatsoever is designed and constructed so that its installation, use, adjustment and maintenance, under conditions consistent with its intended purpose, do not expose people to a risk of harm to their health or safety and, where appropriate, ensure the protection of domestic animals, property and the environment.

The means of protection, which are the subject of the operations mentioned in the first paragraph, are designed and manufactured in such a way as to protect people, under conditions of use and maintenance that comply with their intended purpose, against the risks for which they are intended.

Les équipements de travail destinés à être exposés, mis en vente, vendus, importés, loués, mis à disposition ou cédés à quelque titre que ce soit sont conçus et construits de sorte que leur mise en place, leur utilisation, leur réglage, leur maintenance, dans des conditions conformes à leur destination, n’exposent pas les personnes à un risque d’atteinte à leur santé ou leur sécurité et assurent, le cas échéant, la protection des animaux domestiques, des biens ainsi que de l’environnement.

Les moyens de protection, qui font l’objet des opérations mentionnées au premier alinéa, sont conçus et fabriqués de manière à protéger les personnes, dans des conditions d’utilisation et de maintenance conformes à leur destination, contre les risques pour lesquels ils sont prévus.
