The premises of the facility, under the control of the operator, are designed and maintained in good condition of cleanliness. Vegetation screens are set up, if possible.
For the maintenance of the exterior surfaces of its site (parkings, green spaces, traffic lanes...), the operator implements good practices, especially with respect to weeding.
2. Risks
2.1. Implantation
The outer walls of the warehouse cells are located at a minimum distance from the site limits calculated so that the lethal effects within the meaning of the above dated 29 September 2005 are contained in the facility's enclosure in the event of a fire taking into account the most unfavourable configuration with respect to potentially stored fuels using the FLUMILOG calculation method (referred to in the description of D'INE-9RA
This distance is at least 1.5 times the height of the warehouse without being less than 20 meters.
The facility does not include, does not exceed, nor is it overcome by premises inhabited or occupied by third parties. Subsoil storage is prohibited, i.e. below the so-called reference level.
The reference level is that of internal road to the site located at the foot of the building and serving the construction usable by fire and rescue equipment. If there are two pathways at different levels, the reference level is determined by the lowest route.
2.2. Construction. Accessibility
2.2.1. Accessibility to the site
The facility has at least access at all times to allow fire and rescue services to be operated.
Access to the installation means an opening linking the service or public lane and the inside of the site sufficiently sized to allow the entry of emergency equipment and their implementation. This access must be open immediately upon request from fire and rescue services.
Vehicles whose presence is related to the operation of the facility station without causing any discomfort to the accessibility of fire and rescue equipment from the external traffic lanes to the installation, even outside the operating and opening hours of the facility.
The access route of emergency services is maintained free of any parking. It includes materialization on the ground, indicating the word "fire access". This device can be reinforced by a vertical signage of the "no parking" type.
The operator shall provide fire and rescue services with specific instructions for the reception of rescue and the terms and conditions of their access to all locations.
2.2.2. Accessibility of equipment near installation
A "machine" track in the premises is maintained at least for traffic and crossing on the perimeter of the facility and is positioned so as not to be obstructed by the collapse of the facility and by the extinction waters.
This "machine" track respects the following characteristics:
- the useful width is at least 6 metres, the free height at a minimum of 4.5 metres and the slope below 15%;
- in the inner radius bends below 50 metres, a minimum R inner radius of 13 metres is maintained and a S = 15/R metres overwidth is added;
– the track is resistant to the bearing force calculated for a 320 kN vehicle with a maximum of 130 kN per axle, with a minimum distance of 3.6 metres;
― each point in the perimeter of the installation is at a maximum distance of 60 metres from that track;
― no obstacle is available between access to the facility or ladders defined in 2.2.3 and 2.2.4 and the equipment lane.
In the event of the impossibility of setting up an equipment lane allowing traffic on the entire perimeter of the installation and if all or part of the lane is at a standstill, the last forty meters of the part of the stale lane are of a minimum useful width of 7 meters and a reversing area within a circle of 20 meters in diameter is expected at its end.
2.2.3. Ladder stationing
Each cell has at least one accessible façade served by a channel allowing the circulation and stationing of articulated scales and arms. This ladder is directly accessible from the equipment lane defined in 2.2.2.
From this route, an aerial scale can be stationed to access at least the entire height of the building and defend each firewall separative wall. The track also meets the following characteristics:
― the useful width is at least 4 meters, the length of the parking area at least 15 meters, the slope at a maximum of 10%;
- in the inner radius bends below 50 metres, a minimum R inner radius of 13 metres is maintained and a S = 15/R metres overwidth is added;
- no air obstacle hinders the manoeuvre of these scales vertically across the entire track;
- the distance to the façade is 1 meter minimum and 8 meters maximum for parking parallel to the building and less than 1 meter for parking perpendicular to the building;
– the track is resistant to the carrying force calculated for a 320 kN vehicle with a maximum of 130 kN per axle, with a minimum distance of 3.6 metres and a minimum punching resistance of 88 N/cm2.
In addition, for any multi-level building with at least one floor located at a height greater than 8 metres from the level of emergency access, on at least two facades, this "scale" path allows access to openings.
These openings allow at least two access per floor for each of the facades with ladder and have a minimum height of 1.8 metres and a minimum width of 0.9 metres. Obturation panels or frames that make these access open and remain accessible from outside and inside. They are easily identified from outside by emergency services.
The provisions of this point shall not be required if the cell has a surface of less than 2,000 square metres in accordance with the following provisions:
– at least one of its separative walls is less than 23 metres from an accessible façade;
• the cell has a sprinkler type water extinction device;
The cell does not have mezzanine.
2.2.4. Hydraulic installation from machinery
From each "machine" or "scale" track is provided access to the exits of the building or to the installation by a stabilized path of at least 1.8 metres wide.
The unloading docks are equipped with a 1.8 metre wide and slope ramp of less than or equal to 10%, allowing access to each cell unless there are single-foot access.
2.2.5. Access to the rescue warehouse
Notwithstanding the provisions of Labour code, the parts of the warehouse in which there may be a fire have clearances allowing rapid response of the rescue. In addition, the minimum number of these entries allows that any point in the warehouse is not remote from more than 50 meters of one of them, and from 25 meters in the parts of the warehouse forming cul-de-sac. At least two exits outside the warehouse or on a protected area (a adjacent cell), in two opposite directions, are provided in each storage cell with a surface area of more than 1,000 square metres.
2.2.6. Structure of buildings
The operator conducts a technical study demonstrating that the constructive provisions aim to ensure that the ruin of an element (murs, roof, poles, beams, mezzanines) following a sinister does not result in the chain ruin of the structure of the building, including the surrounding storage cells, their compartmentalization devices, or the collapse of the structure to the outside of the fire cell. This study is carried out with the construction of the warehouse and is available for inspection of classified facilities.
The installations have the following minimum fire reaction and resistance characteristics:
― the exterior walls of the buildings are built in materials a minima B s3 d0;
― the whole structure is a minima R 15;
- for single-floor warehouses of more than 12,50 metres in height, the structure is R 60, unless the building has an automatic fire suppression device;
– for warehouses of two or more levels, the floors (excluding mezzanines) are EI 120 and the supporting structures of floor R 120 at least;
– the separative walls between two cells are REI 120; These walls are extended laterally along the exterior wall over a width of 2 meters or are extended perpendicular to the exterior wall of 1 meter of the facade. If the exterior walls of the building are constructed of A2 s1 d0 materials, these distances are reduced respectively to 1 meter and 0.5 meter;
– the separative elements between cells exceed at least 1 metre the vessel's cover to the right of crossing. The roof is covered with a protective strip on a minimum width of 5 meters on both sides of the separative walls. This strip is made of A2 s1 d0 materials or has on the surface a metal sheet A2 s1 d0;
– the separative walls between a cell and a technical room (excluding boilers) are REI 120 up to sub-facade or a free distance of 10 meters is respected between the cell and the technical room;
― offices and social premises, with the exception of the so-called dock offices designed to accommodate personnel working directly on storage and docks, are located in a closed space not less than 10 metres from storage cells.
This distance may be less than 10 metres if social offices and premises are:
― isolated by a wall to the underside of roof and intercommunication doors equipped with a door farm, all REI 120;
- without being contiguous with cells where dangerous substances are present.
In addition, when offices are located inside a cell:
– the ceiling is REI 120;
– the floor is also REI 120 if the offices are located on the floor;
– the interior staircases linking separate levels, in the case of floors located more than 8 meters from the interior floor, are enclosed by REI 60 walls and constructed of A2 s1 d0 materials. They lead directly to the open air, if not to enclosed circulations of the same degree fire-fire driving. The inner door blocks on these stairs are E 60 C2;
- the soil of storage areas and premises is class A1fl;
- the openings in the separative walls (bays, conveyors, sheath passages, electric cables and pipes, doors, etc.) are equipped with closure or billing devices ensuring a degree of fire resistance equivalent to that required for these walls. The closures are associated with an automatic fire detection system that ensures automatic closure, but this device is also hand-operated, whether the fire is on either side of the wall. Thus the doors in a REI 120 wall have an EI2 120 C ranking and the doors meet a C2 durability class;
– the roof cover elements, excluding insulation, are made of A2 s1 d0 materials;
– roof cover insulations are made of Bs3 d0 materials;
― the roof cover overcoming a comb satisfied the class and index BROOF (t3);
― in other cases, the roof cover satisfies the class and the BROOF index (t3) or the separative elements between cells exceed by at least 2 meters the roof of the building to the right of the crossing and the roof is covered with a protective strip on a minimum width of 10 meters on both sides of the separative walls. This strip is made of A2 s1 d0 materials or has on the surface a metal sheet A2 s1 d0;
― the materials used for natural lighting meet the class d0.
2.2.7. Cells
The maximum area of cells at positive temperature is 3,000 square metres in the absence of an automatic fire-extinguishing system and 6,000 square metres in the presence of an automatic fire-extinguishing system adapted to the nature of the stored products.
The maximum area of cells at negative temperature is 3,000 square meters in the absence of high sensitivity detection and 4,500 square meters in the presence of a high sensitivity detection system with the transmission of the alarm to operation or to an external monitoring company. The total time between the alarm and the first intervention is less than 20 minutes. In the quarter following the commencement of operation of any warehouse with negative temperature cells, the operator shall conduct a test of the device provided for in this paragraph. This test is the subject of a record kept at least two years in the record set out in paragraph 2.1. of this annex. This test is renewed every year. For existing facilities, such an exercise is carried out at a minimum in the year following the publication of this Order.
The surface of a mezzanine occupies not more than 50% of the surface of the lower cell level. In the event that, in a cell, a level has several mezzanines, the operator demonstrates, through a study, that these mezzanines do not pose an additional risk, and in particular that they do not interfere with defumation in the event of a fire.
2.2.8. Township and defumage
2.2.8.1. Canton
The combles are divided into defensive cantons with a maximum area of 1,600 square metres and a maximum length of 60 metres.
The cantonment screens are made up either by elements of the structure (cover, beam, walls), or by fixed, rigid or flexible screens, or finally by mobile screens served on fire detection. The cantonment screens are DH 30, with reference to the standard NF EN 12 101-1, June 2006.
The height of the cantonment screens is determined in accordance with the schedule of technical instruction 246 referred to above.
2.2.8.2. Defumage
Smoke cantons are partly equipped with natural smoke and heat evacuation devices (DENFC).
A useful area DENFC between 0.5 and 6 square metres is planned for 250 square metres of projected roof area.
DENFCs are not located on the roof within 7 metres of the firewalls separating storage cells.
Smoke disposal devices are composed of automatic and manual or self-control outlets. The useful surface of all of these outlets is not less than 2% of the area of each defrosting canton.
A manual control is easily accessible from each building exit or from each storage cell. Manual controls are not placed inside areas at negative temperature. The action of a security command cannot be reversed by another command.
In normal operation, rearming (closed) is possible from the building's floor or from the defensive zone or the cell to be deactivated in the case of a building divided into several cantons or cells.
The manual control of DENFCs is at least installed in two opposite points of each cell. These manual opening controls are located near the access of each storage cell and installed in accordance with the NF S 61-932, December 2008.
The DENFCs, with reference to the standard NF EN 12 101-2, dated October 2003, have the following characteristics:
- Type B opening system (opening + closing);
reliability: RE 300 (300 safety cycles) class;
- classification of snow overload at the opening: SL 250 (25 daN/m2) for altitudes below or equal to 400 metres and SL 500 (50 daN/m2) for altitudes between 400 and 800 metres. Class SL 0 is usable if the location area is not likely to be snowed or if constructive provisions prevent snow accumulation. Above 800 metres, the outlets are SL 500 and installed with constructive provisions preventing snow accumulation;
ambient temperature class T(-15);
– heat exposure class B 300.
The activation of the defumage is not enslaved to the same detection as that to which the automatic extinction system is enslaved if it exists.
In the presence of an automatic extinguishing system, the automatic opening devices of the outlets are set so that the opening of the defumming organs cannot occur before the automatic extinction is triggered.
In the case of a warehouse at several levels, the levels other than that under roof are defused by front openings that are enslaved to detection in accordance with the provisions of technical instruction 246 of the Minister responsible for the interior.
2.2.8.3. Fresh air brought
Fresh air intakes of an area equal to the surface of the most large canton, cell per cell, are carried out either by openings on the façade or by mouths connected to ducts or by the doors of the cells to be deactivated giving on the outside.
2.2.9. Fire detection systems
Automatic fire detection with transmission, at any time, of the alarm to the operator is mandatory for cells, combles, technical premises and offices close to storage. This detection activates a perceptible alarm at any point in the building and the compartmentalization of the affected cell(s).
This detection can be ensured by the automatic extinction system. In this case, the operator ensures that the system allows early detection of any fire start taking into account the nature of the stored products and conducts a technical study to demonstrate it.
2.2.10. Fire fighting means
The facility is equipped with appropriate fire-fighting capabilities, including:
a number of fire appliances (flags or fire posts) with a nominal diameter DN 100 or DN 150. These devices are powered by a public or private network. The exterior access of each cell is less than 100 metres from a fire unit. Fire appliances are distanced from each other by up to 150 metres (the distances are measured by the paths practicable to emergency equipment).
The networks guarantee the power of the devices under a minimum dynamic pressure of 1 bar without exceeding 8 bars. Networks are able to provide a minimum flow rate of 120 cubic metres per hour for two hours.
If a supplement is required, it may be provided by one or more water reserves of the site, which are permanently accessible to fire and rescue services. These reserves have a truly usable minimum capacity of 120 cubic meters. They have suction platforms per 120 cubic metres of capacity.
The flow and amount of extinction and cooling water required shall be calculated in accordance with the aforementioned technical document D 9;
― extinguishers distributed inside the warehouse (excluding cold rooms at negative temperature), on the outside areas and in places with specific risks, close to the clearances, well visible and easily accessible. Extinguishing agents are appropriate to the risks to be combated and compatible with stored materials. Extinguishers designed to protect cold rooms at negative temperature are installed outside of them, on docks, near access. The staffing required for docks is not combined with that of cold rooms at negative temperature;
– armed fire faucets, excluding cold rooms at negative temperature, located near the exits. They are arranged so that a fireplace can be attacked simultaneously by two lances from two different angles. They are usable during gel periods.
In the quarter following the commencement of operation of any warehouse, the operator is organizing a fire defence exercise. This exercise is renewed at least every three years. For existing facilities, such an exercise shall be conducted at a minimum within three years of the issuance of this Order. The exercises shall be held at least four years in the record set out in paragraph 2.1. of this annex.
2.2.11. Retention bowls
Any storage of liquid products that may create pollution of water or soil is associated with a retention capacity that is at least equal to the largest of the following two values:
100% of the capacity of the largest tank;
50% of the overall capacity of the associated tanks.
The retention capacity is waterproof to the products it could contain and resist the physical and chemical action of the fluids. The same applies to its shut-off device which is kept closed.
When the storage is made exclusively of receptacles of unitary capacity less than or equal to 250 litres, allowed for transport, the minimum retention volume is equal to either the total capacity of the receptacles if that capacity is less than 800 litres, or 20% of the total capacity or 50% in the case of flammable liquids (except lubricants) with a minimum of 800 litres if that capacity exceeds 800 litres.
Containers or containers containing products that can react dangerously together are not associated with the same retention bowl.
This provision does not apply to wastewater treatment basins.
Products recovered in the event of an accident may only be released under conditions in accordance with this order or are disposed of as waste.
2.2.12. Retention of work areas and premises
and isolation of the collection network
The soil of areas and premises for the storage or handling of hazardous materials for humans or likely to create pollution of water or soil is watertight and equipped so as to be able to collect washwater and spilled material accidentally.
All measures are taken to collect all water and discharges that may be polluted during a disaster, including water used during a fire, so that the water is recovered or treated to prevent pollution of soils, sewers, streams or natural environment. This containment can be achieved by internal or external devices to the storage cells of the deposits covered. Internal devices are prohibited when dangerous substances are stored.
In case of internal containment, the flow holes are in default closed position.
In the event of an external containment device to the building, the channeled materials are collected, in a gravitary way or through autonomous lifting systems, and then converge to this specific capacity. In the event of the use of autonomous lifting systems, the operator is able to justify at any time a rigorous maintenance and maintenance of these devices. Regular tests are also conducted on these equipment. These lifting systems are equipped with an automatic and manual shut-off device. Any means are put in place to avoid the spread of the fire by these flows.
The extinction waters so confined during a fire are analyzed to determine if a treatment is necessary before discharge.
The volume required for this containment is determined as follows. For each cell, the operator calculates the sum:
– the volume of extinction water required to fight the fire on the one hand;
– the volume of product released by this fire on the other hand;
- the volume of water associated with the weather at 10 litres per square metre of drainage surface to the containment work when the containment is external.
The volume of the necessary containment is then determined by the greatest result obtained by these different calculations.
Releases respect the following limit values:
- suspended material: 35 mg/l;
DCO: 125 mg/l;
DBO5: 30 mg/l;
- hydrocarbon content: 10 mg/l.
2.2.13. Electrical installations, lighting, trolleys and heating
Technical equipment (electric heating systems of door frames, de-icing resistances, pressure balancing valves, etc.) present inside the cold rooms or on the walls of them are not a possible cause of ignition or leak spread.
In particular, if the sandwich panels are not A2 s1 d0, the electrical cables pass through them are equipped with non-flammatory propagators, so as to ensure the absence of direct contact between the cable and the trim of the panel or insulation, the metal trims to be drilled cleanly and narrowly. Electric heating resistances are not in direct contact with insulating agents.
In addition, if the sandwich panels are not A2 s1 d0, the luminaires are positioned to respect a minimum distance of 20 centimetres between the upper part of the luminaire and the lower trim of the insulating panel. Other electrical equipment is maintained at a distance of at least 5 centimetres between the rear face of the equipment and the panel trim. This provision is not applicable to insulated section cables less than 6 square millimetres that can be placed under IRO tubes attached to the panels.
Electric cables form a S at the level of the luminaire supply to make water drop and avoid moisture penetration.
Near at least one exit from the facility, a switch is installed, well-reported, which allows to cut the general power supply or each cell.
Metal equipment shall be grounded in accordance with applicable regulations and standards.
In the case of artificial lighting, only electric lighting is allowed.
If the lighting implements sodium or mercury vapour lamps, the operator shall make every provision to ensure that, in the event of a bulb break, all elements are confined to the appliance.
Electrical sheaths and other pipes are not a possible cause of ignition or leakage and are appropriately protected against shocks, the spread of flames and the action of the products present in the part of the facility in question.
Electrical outlets for the supply of refrigerating groups of vehicles are installed on a support A2 s1 d0
Electric current transformers, when accessed or inside the warehouse, are located in enclosed premises widely ventilated and isolated from storage by fire-resistant walls and doors. These walls are REI 120 and these EI2 120 C doors.
The heating of the dock offices can only be achieved by hot water, steam produced by a thermal generator or other system with an equivalent degree of safety such as heater fluid electrical systems. Electric convectors are forbidden.
The use of thermal trolleys is prohibited.
2.2.14. Protection against lightning
The facility complies with the provisions of the aforementioned 15 January 2008 order.
2.2.15. Battery heating and battery charging
If there is a boiler room or a battery charging room of the trolleys, these are located in a space exclusively reserved for this purpose, outside the warehouse or isolated by a REI 120 wall. Any communication between the local and the warehouse is made either by a sas equipped with two E 60 C door blocks, or by an EI2 120 C door and C2 durability class.
Outside the boiler room are installed:
- a valve on the feed pipe of burners to stop the arrival of the fuel;
– a circuit breaker stopping the operation of the fuel pump;
a sound and visual warning device in the event of the malfunction of the burners or another equivalent efficiency warning system.
Battery charging is prohibited outside the charging facility in the event of risks associated with gas emanations. In the absence of such risks, for non-automated storage, a refill area can be arranged by storage cell, provided that it is 3 metres away from any fuel material and is protected against short-circuit risks. In the case of automated storage, it is not necessary to develop such a zone.
2.3. Identification of potential hazards
2.3.1. Knowledge of products – Labeling
Without prejudice to the provisions of Labour code, the operator has documents that allow it to know the nature and risks of hazardous products present in the facility, in particular safety data sheets. These documents are made available to fire and rescue services.
Containers shall bear in legible characters the name of the products and, where appropriate, the hazard symbols in accordance with the labelling of hazardous substances, preparations and mixtures.
2.3.2. State of stock
The operator maintains a state of the nature and quantity of the products held, to which a general storage plan is annexed. This condition is available to fire and rescue services.
2.3.3. Risk location
The operator shall identify and report on a conventional panel, under its responsibility, the parts of the facility that, because of the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the material being implemented, stored, used or produced, are likely to cause a claim that may have direct or indirect consequences on the interests referred to in L. 511-1 of the Environmental Code.
2.4. Exploitation
2.4.1. Geometric characteristics of storages
A minimum distance of 1 metre is maintained between the top of the storage and the base of the roof or ceiling or any air blowing or suction system; this distance respects the minimum distance required for the proper operation of the automatic fire suppression system, when it exists.
Materials stored in bulk are separated from other materials by a minimum space of 3 meters on the open sides or sides. A minimum distance of 1 metre is respected in relation to walls and structure elements.
Mass-conditioning materials are stored as follows:
– the ground islets have a limited area of 500 square metres;
• the maximum storage height is 8 metres;
– the minimum distance between two islets is 2 meters.
The substances in stackable self-porting containers are stored as follows:
- the ground islets have a surface limited to 1,000 square metres;
– the maximum storage height is 10 metres;
– the minimum distance between two islets is 2 meters.
Materials stored under positive temperature in carrying storage media such as shelving or palettiers are stored at a maximum height of 10 meters in the absence of automatic extinction.
Materials stored under negative temperature in carrying storage media such as shelving or palettiers are stored at a maximum height of 10 metres in the absence of high sensitivity detection with alarm transmission to operation or an external monitoring company.
The storage height of liquid hazardous substances within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 is limited to 5 metres from the internal ground. The above storage is permitted subject to the establishment of means of prevention and protection suitable for liquid hazardous substances.
The automatic closure of shut-off devices (firewall doors) is not hindered by obstacles.
Any storage is forbidden in the combles.
2.4.2. Hazardous substances
Chemically incompatible materials, or which can react dangerously to each other, or which are likely to aggravate a fire, are not stored in the same cell.
In addition, hazardous materials are stored in cells where the storage area is subject to specific modifications with suitable means of risk prevention and protection. These cells are located on the ground floor without being overcome with floors or levels.
2.4.3. Clean installation
Surfaces near storage are maintained clean and regularly cleaned, including to avoid clusters of hazardous or polluting materials and dust. Cleaning equipment is suitable for risk.
2.4.4. Work
Repair or development work leading to an increase in risk (e.g. use of a flame or hot source) can only be carried out after the issuance of a "intervention permit" and possibly a "fire permit" and following a particular instructions. These permits are issued after analysis of the risks associated with the work and the definition of appropriate measures.
The "intervention permit" and possibly the "fire permit" and the particular record are established and covered by the operator or by a person appointed by the operator. When the work is carried out by an outside company, the "intervention permit" and possibly the "fire permit" and the specific safety record of the facility are signed by the operator and the outside company or the persons they have appointed.
After the completion of the work and prior to the resumption of the activity in standard storage configuration, a facility verification is carried out by the operator or its representative or representative of the potential external enterprise.
2.4.5. Operating conditions
Without prejudice to the provisions of Labour code, instructions are established, kept up-to-date and posted in places frequented by staff.
These instructions include:
― smoking ban;
– the prohibition of any open air burning;
– the prohibition to bring fire in any form near storage;
– the obligation of the "intervention permit" or the "fire permit" referred to in the previous point;
– the precautions to be taken for the use and storage of incompatible products;
- the procedures for stopping the emergency and securing the installation (electricity, ventilation, air conditioning, heating, shut-off of fire doors, sewage outlets, etc.);
- measures to be taken in case of leakage on a container or piping containing dangerous substances;
- the modalities for the implementation of segregation devices of the collection network, as provided for in paragraph 2.2.12;
- means of extinction to be used in the event of a fire;
- the alert procedure with the telephone numbers of the facility's response officer, fire and rescue services;
- the obligation to inform the inspection of facilities classified in the event of an accident.
2.4.6. Periodic inspection and equipment maintenance
The operator shall ensure the periodic verification and maintenance of the safety and fire-fighting equipment in place (e.g. extinguishments, detection and extinction systems, fire-fighting doors, dry columns) as well as any electrical and heating facilities, in accordance with the applicable repositories.
2.4.7. Burning
The supply of fire, in any form, close to the storage is prohibited, except for work carried out in accordance with paragraph 2.4.4. of this annex.
2.4.8. Vehicles
Parking vehicles are located at least 10 metres from the building or isolated by an EI 120 wall.
Trucks whose refrigerated groups require an electric power supply outside the loading/unloading periods are stationed at a minimum distance of 10 metres from the operating buildings or separated from the building by an EI 120 wall.
2.4.9. Storage monitoring
In addition to the hours of storage, monitoring of this storage, by guarding or telemonitoring, is put in place at all times, in particular in order to transmit the alert to fire and rescue services, to ensure their reception on site and to allow them access to all places.
3. Water
3.1. Network Plan
The various accessible pipelines are identified in accordance with the existing rules.
A schematic of all networks and a sewer plan are prepared by the operator, regularly updated, especially after each significant change, and dated.
The feed and collection network plan includes:
- the origin and distribution of feed water;
― food protection devices (disconnection, disconnector installation or any other device allowing for isolation with food distribution, etc.);
– the sectors collected and associated networks;
– works of all kinds (vannas, counters, etc.);
― internal purification works with their control points and rejection points of any nature (internal or middle).
3.2. Maintenance and monitoring
Effluent collection networks are designed and designed to be curable, watertight and to withstand in time physical and chemical actions of effluents or products that may be transited. The operator ensures by appropriate and preventive controls of their good condition and sealing.
In addition, one or more cut-off tanks or disconnecting bins or any other equipment with equivalent guarantees are installed to isolate industrial water networks and to avoid product returns that are not compatible with water potability in public water networks or in underground water tablecloths.
3.3. General characteristics of all releases
Discharged effluents are free of:
- floating materials;
- products that can be released, sewage or natural environment, directly or indirectly, of toxic, flammable or fragrant gases or vapours;
- any product that may affect the conservation of the works, as well as any material that is depositable or precipitable that, directly or indirectly, may interfere with the proper functioning of the works.
3.4. Rainfall
Unclean rainwaters that do not alter their original quality are evacuated by a specific network.
Rainwater that is likely to be polluted, including by runoff on traffic lanes, parking, loading and unloading areas, storage areas and other waterproof surfaces, are collected by a specific network and processed by one or more properly dimensioned hydrocarbon separator devices or any other equivalent effect device.
The above-noted rainwater meets the following conditions:
pH between 5.5 and 8.5;
― the color of the effluent does not cause persistent coloring of the receiving environment;
― effluent does not odor,
- content of suspended material less than 100 mg/l;
- hydrocarbon content less than 10 mg/l;
- chemical oxygen content on non-decisive effluent (DCO) less than 300 mg/l;
- biochemical oxygen content on non-decisive effluent (DBO5) below 100 mg/l.
When the runoff on all surfaces (seats, parking areas, etc.) of the warehouse, in the event of rain corresponding to the maximum 10-year precipitation, is likely to generate a flow at the outflow of the wastewater treatment facilities greater than 10% of the QMNA5 in the receiving environment, the operator puts in place a collection work in order to respect, in the case of 10-year precipitation, a flow rate below 10-M
In case of rejection in a collective collection work, the maximum flow rate is fixed by agreement between the operator and the manager of the collection work.
3.5. Domestic water
Domestic water is collected separatively and is processed and evacuated in accordance with the regulations in force on the site's settlement municipality.
4. Waste
4.1. General
The operator shall make all necessary arrangements in the design and operation of its facilities to ensure the proper management of the waste of its business, including:
∙ limit the quantity and toxicity of waste to the source by adopting clean technologies;
― sorting, recycling, valorizing its manufacturing by-products;
ensuring the treatment or pre-treatment of its waste, including by means of physico-chemical, biological or thermal treatment;
― ensuring, for the ultimate waste whose volume must be strictly limited, storage in the best possible conditions.
4.2. Waste storage
The waste and residues produced are stored, prior to their revalorization or disposal, under conditions that do not pose a risk of pollution (prevention of meteorological water leaching, surface and groundwater pollution, flight and odours) for neighbouring populations and the environment.
Temporary storage, prior to recycling or disposal of special waste, is carried out on watertight storage bowls and if possible protected from meteoric water.
The outer storages (packs, waste, pallets, etc.) and the open dumps are located at least 10 metres from the building or isolated by an EI 120 wall.
If the number of pallets stored outside is more than 150, the storage is divided so as not to exceed 150 pallets per respective storage:
– a distance of 10 meters between each pallet storage;
– a distance of at least 10 meters from the buildings or insulation by an EI 120 wall.
4.3. Waste disposal
Wastes that cannot be valued are disposed of in regulated facilities in accordance with the environmental code. The operator is able to justify the removal on request of the inspection of classified facilities. It sets up a register characterizing and quantifying all special waste generated by its activities.
Any open air burn is prohibited.
5. Noise and vibration
5.1. Noise limit values
For the purpose of this Order, it is called:
―emergence: the difference between the levels of continuous pressure weighted A of ambient noise (operating installation) and residual noise (in the absence of the noise generated by the installation);
- regulated areas of emergence:
― the interior of buildings inhabited or occupied by third parties, existing on the date of the filing of records, and their closest external parts (course, garden, terrace), other than those of buildings located in areas intended to receive artisanal or industrial activities;
―constructible areas defined by urban planning documents that are opposable to third parties and published on the date of the filing of records;
― the interior of buildings inhabited or occupied by third parties that have been established after the date of the filing of records in the constructible areas defined above, and their closest external parts (course, garden, terrace), excluding those of buildings located in areas intended to receive artisanal or industrial activities.
The sound emissions of the facility are not at the origin, in the regulated-emerged areas, of an emergence greater than the eligible values defined in the following table:
| Higher than 35 and less than or equal to 45 dB (A) | 6 dB (A) | 4 dB (A) |
| Higher to 45 dB (A) | 5 dB (A) | 3 dB (A) |
5.2. Vehicles. ― Construction equipment
Transport vehicles, handling equipment and construction equipment used inside the facility are in accordance with the provisions in force for limiting their sound emissions.
The use of all acoustic communication devices (sirnas, tellers, loudspeakers, etc.), disturbing for the neighbourhood, is prohibited, unless their use is exceptional and reserved for the prevention and reporting of serious incidents or accidents.
5.3. Vibrations
The vibrations emitted conform to the provisions set out in Annex III.
5.4. Operator monitoring of sound emissions
The operator puts in place a monitoring of the sound emissions of the facility to estimate the value of the emergence generated in the regulated emerging areas. The measurements shall be carried out according to the method set out in the annex to the above-mentioned decision of 23 January 1997. These measurements are carried out under representative conditions of the operation of the facility for at least half an hour.
A level of noise and emergence shall be measured within three months of commissioning the facility, and at least every three years by a qualified person or organization.
6. Safety and rehabilitation at the end of operation
The operator puts the site safe and rehabilitated so that it no longer shows any danger and disadvantage. In particular:
– all hazardous products and all wastes are valued or evacuated to duly authorized facilities;
– tanks and pipes containing products that may pollute the water or cause a fire or explosion are poisoned, cleaned, degassed and, where applicable, decontaminated. They are if possible removed, otherwise they are neutralized by filling with a solid inert. The product used for neutralization covers the entire surface of the inner wall and has sufficient durability to prevent surface soil degradation.

TECHNICAL REGULATIONS
The facility is built, equipped and operated so that its operation is not at the origin of vibrations in the surrounding constructions that could compromise the health or safety of the neighbourhood or create a nuisance for the neighbourhood.
The particulate velocity of the emitted vibration, measured by the method defined in this annex, shall not exceed the values defined below.
1. Limit values of particulate speed
1.1. Continuous or assimilated sources
Are considered continuous or assimilated sources:
- all machines emitting vibrations continuously;
― sources emitting pulses at fairly short intervals without limiting the number of emissions.
The limit values applicable to each of the three components of the vibration movement are as follows:
| Resistant constructions | 5 mm/s | 6 mm/s | 8 mm/s |
| Sensitive construction | 3 mm/s | 5 mm/s | 6 mm/s |
| Very sensitive constructions | 2 mm/s | 3 mm/s | 4 mm/s |
1.2. Repeated pulse sources
All sources emitting, in limited numbers, pulses at fairly short intervals but greater than 1 s and less than 500 ms are considered to be repeated pulses.
The limit values applicable to each of the three components of the vibration movement are as follows:
| Resistant constructions | 8 mm/s | 12 mm/s | 15 mm/s |
| Sensitive construction | 6 mm/s | 9 mm/s | 12 mm/s |
| Very sensitive constructions | 4 mm/s | 6 mm/s | 9 mm/s |
2. Construction classification
For the application of particulate speed limits, constructions are classified into three categories according to their level of resistance:
• Resistant constructions: constructions of classes 1 to 4 defined by Circular No. 23 of 23 July 1986 on mechanical vibrations emitted in the environment by installations classified for environmental protection;
• sensitive constructions: constructions of classes 5 to 8 defined by circular 23 of 23 July 1986;
― very sensitive constructions: constructions of classes 9 to 13 defined by circular 23 of 23 July 1986.
The following constructions are excluded from this classification:
- nuclear reactors and their associated installations;
- general security facilities, except for the constructions that contain them;
– dams, bridges;
• water castles;
- large-range transport facilities of gases or liquids other than water and pressure water pipes greater than 1 metre;
– storage tanks for gas, liquid hydrocarbons or cereals;
- railway or road tunnels and other underground works of similar importance;
― harbour works such as dikes, docks and works located at sea, including drilling platforms,
for which the study of vibration effects must be entrusted to a qualified body. The choice of this body must be approved by inspection of classified facilities.
3. Method of measurement
3.1. Basic elements
The movement in one point of a construction is recorded in three rectangular directions, one vertical, the other two directions being defined in relation to the horizontal axes of the work studied without taking into account the azimut.
The sensors are placed on the main element of the construction (window support of a carrying wall, support point on the metal frame or concrete in the case of a modern construction).
3.2. Measuring apparatus
The measuring string to be used shall allow the recording, depending on time, of the particulate speed in the frequency band from 4 Hz to 150 Hz for the amplitudes of this speed between 0.1 mm/s and 50 mm/s. The chain dynamics shall be at least 54 dB.
3.3. Operational conditions
The sensors must be completely supportive of their support. Care must be taken not to install the sensors on the coatings (zinc, plaster, tile...) that can act as vibration filters or cause parasites vibration if these coatings are not well in solidarity with the main element of the construction. A measure of the existing agitations should be performed, if possible, outside the operation of the source.
