Environmental Project No. 1269, 2009

Acceptance criteria in Denmark and the EU

Abstract
In connection with an environmental and emergency-planning review of major hazard establishments in Denmark, the Danish Emergency Management Agency, the Agency for Spatial and Environmental Planning, and the Environmental Protection Agency decided to investigate the use of acceptance criteria for risk to third parties in other EU countries, and compare these with Danish criteria. Major hazard authorities need risk acceptance criteria that can be used in the following situations:

when auditing environmental permits for existing major hazard establishments,
when planning changes in land use (in municipal or local plans) close to existing major hazard establishments,
in connection with environmental impact assessment and environmental permit for expansion or changes to existing major hazard establishments, and
when establishing new major hazard establishments.
