The implementing décret behind article 47 was amended on 24 August 2026

What I assert

Décret n° 2026-816 of 24 August 2026 (opens in new tab) amends décret n° 2019-768 of 24 July 2019, taken for the application of article 47 of loi n° 2005-102. It was published in JORF n° 0198 of 26 August 2026. That is all I assert at this stage.

What I do not assert

I have not read the amending text. Légifrance returned HTTP 403 on every automated attempt since 24 August 2026, on 31 August and 7 September 2026 in particular. A 403 is a filter on automated clients, not proof that the link is dead: the text is most likely there, it simply has not been read. Until I have read it, I will not say what it changes. Law-firm commentary on its content is already circulating; I am not relaying it, because commentary spots a subject — it does not establish one.

Why an unread amendment changes something anyway

As I read it on 17 August 2026, décret n° 2019-768 is the text that sets the turnover threshold for the companies referred to in article 47 I 4° of loi n° 2005-102, and that points to the harmonised standards published in the Official Journal of the European Union. Those are precisely the two elements commercial commentary reuses most, and almost always without a date. As from 24 August 2026, figures and clauses attributed to the 2019 décret are of unconfirmed currency: they reflect an earlier version, and nothing I can verify today says how far that version has moved.

The method point fits in one sentence: a figure quoted without the date its text was read is not information, it is a memory. Nor do I say which companies fall under article 47 I 4° — that is a legal characterisation, and it is not mine to make. Legal characterisation is for your counsel.
