Article R4213-5 of the French Labour Code

Premises in which work equipment likely to expose workers to a daily noise exposure level of more than 85 dB(A) is to be installed must be designed, built or fitted out, taking into account the state of the art, in such a way as to :
1° Reduce the reverberation of noise on the walls of these premises when this reverberation causes a significant increase in the level of exposure of workers;
2° Limit the propagation of noise to other premises occupied by workers.

Les locaux dans lesquels doivent être installés des équipements de travail susceptibles d’exposer les travailleurs à un niveau d’exposition sonore quotidienne supérieure à 85 dB(A) sont conçus, construits ou aménagés, compte tenu de l’état des techniques, de façon à :
1° Réduire la réverbération du bruit sur les parois de ces locaux lorsque cette réverbération occasionne une augmentation notable du niveau d’exposition des travailleurs ;
2° Limiter la propagation du bruit vers les autres locaux occupés par des travailleurs.
