Art. 5.7.1.3
§ 1. If an establishment is subject to a licence requirement because of its classification in section
7 of the classification list, any storage of dangerous substances must also meet the conditions
of chapter 5.17 "Hazardous substances" of this order, providing that the storage quantities
concerned fall within the scope of said chapter.
However, in the environmental licence exceptions can be indicated with respect to the separation
distances between two groups and/or sub-groups with non-classified storage quantities. In
such cases, the grounds for the exception must also be indicated.
§ 2. Unless specified otherwise in the environmental licence, bromomethane must be stored in
pressure vessels with a contents of at most 100 kg of bromomethane per drum; the drums of
bromomethane must be placed vertically, with the closing device of the drum at the top; drums
of bromomethane must be protected against weather influences such as sunshine and rain and
may not be stacked; during storage, the closing devices of the drums of bromomethane must be
protected against mechanical damage by closing caps; empty drums must be stored as full
drums;
§ 3. The construction of all spaces for the processing of hazardous products is provided in such
a way that accidentally spilt substances or leaked liquids can be collected.
To prevent the spreading of fire, all spaces for the handling of extremely flammable and highly
flammable liquids must be constructed in such a way that accidentally spilt substances and
leaked liquids end up in a collection device and are taken to one or more collection wells by
means of collection channels.
This collecting device may in no way be connected indirectly or directly to a public sewer, a
surface water, a collecting basin for surface water, a ditch or a groundwater layer.
The collection device and the collection wells must be regularly emptied, and at least after each
incident. The resulting waste flows must be disposed of in an appropriate manner.
§ 4. Without prejudice to any other relevant legal or regulatory provisions, the operator takes all
measures required to sufficiently protect the surrounding area against the risks of fire and explosion.
This includes the mandatory availability of the necessary firefighting equipment. The
type of firefighting equipment required and where it should be kept is determined after consultation
with the authorised fire brigade. This matter is completely unrelated to the environmental
licence.
The firefighting equipment must be kept in a properly maintained condition, protected against
frost, appropriately marked, easily accessible and placed in appropriate locations. It must immediately
be able to be brought into operation.
