From the same electrical installtion spec.:
"1 sortie applique en SA"
I can only think of "sortie analogique", but I'm not at all sure about that.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Redundant?
Might they at some point have said "prise de courant en SA (= sortie applique)", then replaced "prise de courant" by "sortie applique" but failed to delete the rest?

If this is lighting rather than power sockets, simple allumage (1-way circuit, on one-way switch), maybe, as opposed to a two-way (va-et-vient) circuit?

SA = Salle d'Attente ? (waiting room)
just a guess, could have nothing to do with electricity.

surface-mounting
Again, just a stab in the dark (until the elctrics are finished!) --- but mightn't it be short for something like 'surface apparent(e)' --- I've come across some pretty weird and wonderful more or less ad-hoc abbreviations like this by electricians to describe things that are surface-mounted instead of being 'encastré'
Just an idea...
