This paper presents the French regulations for seismic protection of critical industrial facilities. After an overview of the seismic regulations newly enforced to implement the Eurocodes in France, emphasis is put on the scope of the recently published bylaws governing the seismic protection of such installations: scope, definition of the seismic hazard, schedule of implementation. To conclude the guidelines under preparation, defining the technical rules for each type of equipment, are introduced.
