The legal information about the publisher of this site, and the terms of use of this site.

Reproducing them in full on another medium, distributing them commercially or including them in a document sold to a third party requires our prior written agreement.

The regulatory texts cited (French décrets and arrêtés, standards named by their reference) belong to their respective authors and publishers. This site gives their exact reference and a link to the official source; it does not reproduce their full text, and it is no substitute for reading them. The list of references is published on the sources page, which is kept in French.

Scope of the information published
The regulatory information published here is tied to its official text and rechecked regularly. It is given for guidance only and is neither legal advice nor an engineering study.
In particular, deciding whether a building or an organisation falls under a regulatory obligation is for the organisation concerned, not for the engineering consultancy. Simeal establishes technical facts (floor areas, rated capacities, energy consumption, commissioning dates) and draws the technical consequences. The legal characterisation that follows belongs to whoever bears the obligation.
A text may change between two checks, and a particular situation may fall under an exception this site does not mention. No decision committing works, an investment or a declaration should be taken on the reading of these pages alone.
Links to outside sites are given because they lead to an official source or to useful documentation. Simeal exercises no control over their content, and their presence is not an endorsement of the whole of the site linked to.
Personal data
This site sets no cookie, uses no audience measurement tool and calls no outside server: the typefaces and the figures are served by the site itself. No consent banner is shown, because there is nothing to consent to.
The only personal data we process is what you send us yourself, by email. What is kept, why, for how long, and how to ask for it to be deleted is set out on the personal data page.
Governing law
This site and this notice are governed by French law. This is an information site: it sells nothing online and collects no payment.
Simeal’s services are governed by the particular conditions of each contract and by its general terms and conditions of sale, supplied with every proposal. Should a dispute arise, an amicable settlement will be sought before any legal action.
