Report the construction and operation or modification of an installation not requiring a permit that is relevant to a major accident

If you are planning an incident-relevant construction and operation or an incident-relevant change to an installation that does not require a permit and is an operating area or part of an operating area, you must register this.

Do you operate an installation that does not require a permit under immission control legislation, which is an operating area or part of an operating area, and are you planning an accident-relevant change to it?

Or are you planning the construction and operation of an installation that does not require a permit and is an operating area or part of an operating area?

These projects may result in the installation or modification falling below the appropriate safety distance or a significant increase in risk from the installation and an incident-related approval procedure may be required.

You must therefore notify the competent authority of your project before it is carried out in order to check whether it requires approval. Thenotification can be made in writing or electronically.
