Question 16080 — security of property and people

Summary

Mr. Jean-Pierre Bataille draws the attention of the Minister of Regional Planning and Decentralization to the difficulties of applying the decree of May 17, 2024 to itinerant marquees, tents and structures (CTS). The decree of May 17, 2024 modifying several provisions of the safety regulations against the risks of fire and panic in establishments open to the public (ERP) and high-rise buildings (IGH) taken respectively by the decree of June 25, 1980 and the decree of December 30, 2011 requires the use of cables meeting the European classification Cca-s2,d2,a2. Although the objective of improving fire safety cannot be disputed, some professionals in marquees, tents and itinerant structures nevertheless question the technical difficulties linked to the application of these regulations to temporary installations. In Indeed, itinerant CTS, defined by the decree of January 23, 1985, are establishments intended by design to be enclosed in whole or in part and itinerant, having a flexible cover, for use in circuses, shows, meetings, balls, banquets, summer camps, sporting activities, etc., in which the total number of admitted public is greater than or equal to 50 people. Consequently, they constitute structures removable and temporary, installed for a period of less than six months. However, since May 17, 2025, the date of entry into force of this regulation, these same professionals in the sector have emphasized that the use of rigid cables classified Cca-s2,d2,a2 appears difficult to compatible with the technical constraints of temporary installations, historically designed around flexible cables adapted to frequent assembly and dismantling. They therefore fear significant operational difficulties for the organization of cultural, festive, associative or economic events hosted in itinerant CTSs, which would be unsuitable given the short duration of these installations. Also, he asks if the Government plans to adapt the application of the decree of May 17, 2024 to itinerant CTS and, if necessary, to study the possibility of an exemption or a specific regime for temporary installations not exceeding six months if European Union law allows it.
