Service Description
A permit is required for the storage of explosive substances.
In principle, a permit is required for the storage of explosive substances in accordance with the Explosives Act (SprengG). The following are subject to approval
- the construction and operation of warehouses in which explosive substances are to be stored for commercial purposes, as well as
- significant changes to the nature or operation of such storage facilities.
The permit also includes other official decisions relating to storage, in particular building regulations. For storage facilities that are part of an installation requiring a permit under Section 4 of the Federal Immission Control Act, the permit under the Federal Immission Control Act includes the permit under the Explosives Act.
The content of the permit may be restricted and subject to conditions if this is necessary, in particular to ensure precautions against risks to life, health and property. Conditions may be subsequently amended and supplemented.
The Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs may determine by statutory order that certain explosive substances may be stored in whole or in limited quantities without a permit under specified conditions. The prerequisite is that the type, extent and duration of the hazards caused by this storage are compatible with the protection of employees or third parties.
