Mandatory Parental Controls on Connected Devices (Effective July 2024)

Title (original language): Contrôle parental : de nouvelles obligations pour les fabricants de matériels connectés

The Parental Control Mandate for internet-connected devices in France requires all such devices sold in Franceto include built-in parental control features.  Law of 2 March 2022, known as Studer's law and its implementing decree of 11 July 2023 thus establish new obligations for economic operators involved in the manufacture, distribution and sale of connected devices. This new requirement is part of a broader effort to safeguard minors from excessive or harmful screen time, as well as to ensure greater awareness among parents about available digital safety tools.
