You must submit your notification of the construction, significant modification or change to the hazard level of an installation subject to mandatory inspection to the competent authority in good time in advance.

The construction of these installations does not have to be notified if

• a suitability assessment has been applied for in accordance with the Water Resources Act for the facilities for storing, filling or handling substances hazardous to water or
• installations are the subject of an approval procedure under other legislation, provided that the approval procedure also ensures compliance with the requirements of this Ordinance. In this case, significant changes to the installation that require approval are also not subject to notification.
