Show fumigation

If you wish to carry out a fumigation activity, you must notify the competent authority.

Anyone who intends to carry out fumigation with fumigants on a commercial basis or independently as part of other economic activities when a fixed installation is first commissioned or outside a fixed installation must notify the competent authority in writing.

In addition, a collective notification can be approved if fumigation is repeated regularly and the conditions described in the notification remain unchanged.

For activities involving fumigants, the requirements of Annex I No. 4 GefStoffV must be observed in addition to the basic obligations of the GefStoffV.

Responsibility lies with the occupational health and safety departments of the regional councils (RP) of the state of Hesse.
