PacoCategory 5: fewer checks, not fewer consequences
A small public-access property owes fewer controls than a large one, and some intervals are longer. A longer interval is precisely the one that gets forgotten.
Classification changes the list, and the list changes everything
The gas check is annual for a category 1 to 4 property, and every two years for a hotel in category 5. Held as one number, one of the two is always wrong: either you inspect twice too often, or you are late without knowing it.
- Intervals follow the category you declare
- A two-year deadline is tracked like a six-month one
- The text setting the interval is cited on the check
What changed on 1 July 2026
Since 1 July 2026, the registre de sécurité must hold the dates of evacuation drills and the named list of staff in charge of safety (art. R.143-44 of the CCH). A small hotel is concerned as much as a large one. Paco adds it to your list without inventing a deadline: it is content to keep, not a check on a fixed date.
Common questions
I do not know my category.
It is on your opening order or the last safety-commission report. If in doubt, open the wider list: a check followed for nothing beats a check missed.
