ABSTRACT

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).

Read this article from a comprehensive knowledge base, updated and supplemented with articles reviewed by scientific committees.

Installations are classified according to a nomenclature:

  • headings 1000 and 4000: depending on the substances used;

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

Thresholds are set for each heading, and when they are exceeded, they trigger the application of specific regulatory requirements (standard ministerial decree or prefectoral decree).

The ICPE nomenclature is the reference document that classifies installations under the :

  • of registration (E) (see article [G 4 240] );

  • or authorization (A), according to thresholds defined by decree (see article [G 1 018] ).
