Article R8124-2 of the French Labour Code

The ethical rules set out in this Code derive from the Constitution, in particular the Preamble to the Constitution of 1946, from France’s international commitments, from the general principles of law and from the laws and regulations in force, in particular the statutory rules applicable to civil servants and those governing relations between the public and the administration.

When carrying out their duties, the staff of the labour inspection system enjoy a guarantee of independence that protects them from undue external influence. This guarantee conditions the quality of the service provided to the public and the confidence of users in the labour inspection public service.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R8124-2

Les règles déontologiques énoncées par le présent code procèdent de la Constitution et notamment du Préambule de la Constitution de 1946, des engagements internationaux de la France, des principes généraux du droit et des lois et règlements en vigueur, notamment des règles statutaires applicables aux agents de la fonction publique ainsi que de celles régissant les relations entre le public et l’administration.


Les agents du système d’inspection du travail bénéficient pour l’exercice de leurs missions d’une garantie d’indépendance les préservant des influences extérieures indues. Cette garantie conditionne la qualité du service rendu au public et la confiance des usagers dans le service public de l’inspection du travail.
