Overview
FrançaisABSTRACT
Classified installations for environmental protection can be operated or owned by any natural or legal person, public or private, and can present hazards or disadvantages. These installations and activities are listed in a nomenclature under a set of headings for hazardous substances and preparations, together with activities that may have a negative impact on health and the environment. This list contains two main categories: (i) a classification according to the type of substance used and (ii) a classification by activity. Each section gives a description of the activity and the threshold levels for which classification has been defined (declaration, declaration with periodic control, registration, authorization subject to obligations).

headings 2000 and 3000: depending on the activities carried out.
