Annexes
Art. 5.17.1.8
§ 1. 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.
One of the implications of this is that the necessary firefighting equipment must be provided.
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. The firefighting
equipment must be able to be deployed immediately.
§ 2. At the establishment, in consultation with the authorised fire brigade the necessary provisions
must be present to prevent fire extinguishing water contaminated with dangerous products
from draining into the ground, public sewers, surface or groundwater. The collected contaminated
fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in an appropriate fashion. The collection
capacity for contaminated fire extinguishing water must be determined in consultation with the
authorised fire brigade.
Art. 5.17.1.9
§ 1. The electrical installations, appliances and lighting appliances must meet the requirements
of the General Regulations for Labour Safety or of the general regulations for electrical installations,
in particular the articles dealing with spaces in which an explosive atmosphere can
originate.
§ 2. Without prejudice to the regulatory provisions, in zones where there is danger of fire and
explosion because of the possible accidental presence of an explosive mixture, electrical installations
must be designed and installed according to the conditions of a zoning plan.
§ 3. With respect to installations for which the general regulations for electrical installations are
not as yet applicable, the zoning is to take place in accordance with the provisions of article 105
of the said general regulations.
Art. 5.17.1.10
§ 1. Containers intended for the storage of extremely toxic, toxic, harmful or corrosive liquids
with a vapour pressure of over 13.3 kPa at a temperature of 35 °C, must be equipped with an
effective system to restrict to a minimum the air pollution during storage and handling, such as
a vapour recovery system, a floating roof, or another equivalent system.
§ 2. With the loading and unloading of storage containers and/or supplying road tankers, rail
tankers or tanker vessels containing the liquids referred to in § 1, air pollution must be restricted
to a minimum.
Art. 5.17.1.11
§ 1. Without prejudice to the obligations from article 7 of title I of VLAREM, the operator of a
category 1 establishment must keep a register or alternative data carrier in which, per main
property, at least the nature and quantities of the stored hazardous products are specified.
This information must be stored in such a way that it is possible at all times to determine the
quantities of hazardous products present at the establishment.
