The France market
Paris is a top-five European interconnection market and Marseille is a major subsea landing point for routes into the Mediterranean, Africa and Asia. French operators expect French-language documentation and are strict about habilitation électrique.
We mobilise from Paris and Marseille with a target of 8 hours to site. Paris and Marseille hubs give eight-hour mobilisation. French sites commonly close works in August — plan major projects around it.

How we deliver remote & smart hands here
Remote hands in France is a response-time business. From Paris, Marseille we target 8-hour mobilisation, and the value is in doing the right thing first time rather than closing the ticket fast. Every intervention is photographed and reported back the same shift.
- Named engineer with site access, not an on-call pool discovering the facility on arrival
- Photo evidence before and after every intervention, attached to your ticket
- Console access, reboots, media swaps and cable moves performed to written instruction
- Escalation path agreed in advance, with a named contact and a defined decision threshold
- Intervention logged against your asset record, not only against ours
Standards and compliance in France
Work is signed off against the standards that actually apply here, not the ones our engineers are most familiar with. In France that means NF EN 50173 and NF EN 50174 as the primary reference, with iec 61935-1 certification as the test regime.
Site safety runs under Habilitation électrique (B1V, B2V, BR, BC). We supply certificates before mobilisation rather than on request.
Standards applied on site
- NF EN 50173 and NF EN 50174 for cabling
- NF EN 50600 for facility design and operations
- NF C 15-100 for low-voltage electrical installation
- EU GDPR supervised by the CNIL
- HDS certification requirements where health data is hosted
- ANSSI guidance and SecNumCloud where the tenant is public sector
- NIS2 through the French implementation
Site access and safety
Plan de prévention must be agreed before intervention on occupied sites. Photo ID and a signed engagement de confidentialité are standard.
- Habilitation électrique (B1V, B2V, BR, BC) matched to the work
- Plan de prévention for contractor intervention on an occupied site

Local questions
Working in France
Do your engineers hold habilitation électrique?
Yes, matched to the task — B1V or B2V for execution, BR for intervention, BC for consignation. Certificates are supplied before mobilisation.
Is the documentation in French?
Yes. Test results, handover notes and the procès-verbal de réception are produced in French, with an English version on request.
Can you work on HDS-scoped infrastructure?
We work to the handling and traceability controls an HDS-certified host requires, and we can sign the confidentiality and processing agreements. We do not hold HDS certification ourselves and will not imply it.
