Especially high requirements, particularly in respect of the safety technology to be implemented, are placed on plant operators whose plants fall within the scope of the 12th Ordinance for implementation of the Federal Immission Control Act. We have authorized experts in accordance with section 29a of the Federal Immission Control Act for issues that arise here, required position statements and expert appraisals.

All experts have the certified specialist knowledge, reliability and independence to be able to carry out safety assessments of various plant types in accordance with the 4th Ordinance for implementation of the Federal Immission Control Act. These include chemicals plants, combustion plants, storage installations, waste grinding plants and ammonia refrigerating units.

Controls and inspections by independent experts are an essential part of plant monitoring in accordance with the Federal Immission Control Act/ Hazardous Incident Ordinance. This concerns not only the actual installations, but also the preparation of safety-relevant documents.
