SEVESO APPROVAL

SEVESO is a European directive that regulates the management of risks associated with industrial activities involving hazardous substances.

The directive takes its name from the 1976 industrial accident in Seveso, Italy, when a significant amount of toxic dioxin was released into the atmosphere, causing serious effects on the environment and on human health. This incident prompted the European Union to adopt strict measures for preventing such accidents.

The municipality’s service is addressed to interested natural and legal persons, with a view to obtaining the documents required (requested through the urbanism certificate) for issuing the building permit.

Documentation is reviewed by the Inter-institutional Commission for establishing territorial compatibility around SEVESO-type sites within the Ploiești City Hall.
