Environmental permit, fire-safe use activity

For some buildings, fire safety is extra important. You then need an environmental permit for fire-safe use.

Instruction text: You can check online through the Environment Counter whether or not you need to apply for a permit.

These include, for example, situations where

  1. overnight lodging is provided to more than ten persons or
  2. day care to more than 10 persons under 12 years of age or with physical or mental disabilities.

This applies mainly to:

Healthcare

  • pre-school and after-school care
  • preschool

Education for children under 12 years of age

Are you subject to licensing or reporting requirements?

With the "permit check" on the Environment Desk external link icon, you can immediately see whether you need an environmental permit or whether a notification will suffice.
