Jasmine The "Code du Sante Publique" is a legislative requirement (same as the "Code du Travail" for health & safety at work) Can't answer the rest of the questions, but start at the French Government Legislative site: http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/html/frame_codes1.htm and you should be able to track something down using the Code name and the article reference number.
