Procedure descriptions
Notify change of operator of a system for handling substances hazardous to water (AwSV system, except heating oil consumer system and JGS system)
When taking over an existing installation for handling substances hazardous to water, you as the new operator of the installation are obliged to notify the competent authority of this change of operator without delay.
