Art. 5.17.3.10
§ 1. 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, the construction of all spaces for the processing of P1 products
must be provided in such a way that accidentally spilt substances and leaked liquids arrive in a
collection device and are then taken by collecting channels to one or a multiple of collection
drains.
This collecting device may in no way be connected indirectly or directly to a public sewer, a
surface water, a reservoir for surface water, a ditch or a groundwater layer.
§ 2. The contents of a leaking container must be immediately loaded or pumped into a different
suitable container. Spilt liquids must be immediately localised and placed in a drum for this
purpose. At establishments the necessary emergency materials, such as absorption and neutralisation
material, oversized drums, protection resources, etc., must be present to, in the event of
leaks, be able to immediately respond to faulty packing, spills and other incidents and maximally
restrict possible harmful consequences.
§ 3. Collection devices and collection basins must be regularly emptied, and at least after each
incident. The waste material flows obtained must be disposed of in an appropriate manner.
Art. 5.17.3.11
All necessary measures must be taken to regularly remove any rainwater that may enter the

to prevent the pollution of soil groundwater and surface water.
Art. 5.17.3.12
