LV 49 - Explanations and instructions for carrying out the approval procedures in accordance with Section 18 of the Industrial Safety Ordinance

If you want to build or operate an airfield refueling system for flammable liquids with a flash point <23°C or make certain changes to it that affect the safety of the system, you must apply for a permit from the responsible authority.

Airfield refueling systems are stationary systems or areas on airfields in which aircraft fuel tanks are filled with flammable liquids (flash point <23°C) from hydrant systems. These are systems that require monitoring.
You need permission from the responsible authority if you use an airfield refueling system:

• want to build and put into operation
• want to change the design or mode of operation in such a way that the safety of the system is influenced

Permission may be granted to you subject to the following restrictions:

• limited
• limited
• under conditions
• with conditions

If the facility requiring a permit is part of a facility requiring a permit, no separate permit will be issued. Approval includes permission.

• Last name, first name, company name
• Applicant's address
• Contact information (email, telephone, fax)
• Specify which type of permission is desired:
  • Construction and operation
  • Modification and operation
  • Partial permission

• Test report from an approved monitoring body (ZÜS). The test report must confirm that the system can be operated safely if the measures mentioned are adhered to.

Fees are charged for processing the permit application in accordance with the fee schedule for the areas of occupational safety and plant and product safety (ArbSchGebO HA).
The amount of the fee depends on the time required to review the application documents and prepare the permit.
