The Seveso Directive – A contribution to Technological Disaster Risk Reduction.

The Seveso-III-Directive (2012/18/EU) aims at the prevention of major accidents involving dangerous substances. However, as accidents may nevertheless occur, it also aims at limiting the consequences of such accidents not only for human health but also for the environment.

The Seveso III Directive came into force on 1 June 2015, replacing the Seveso II Directive.

The Directive covers establishments where dangerous substances may be present (e.g. during processing or storage) in quantities exceeding certain threshold.

Depending on the amount of dangerous substances present, establishments are categorised in lower and upper tier, the latter are subject to more stringent requirements
