New regulation for companies that use hazardous substances will
enter into force on 1 June 2015. The aim of this legislation is to
prevent major accidents. The new rules implement a European
directive on the major-accident hazards of certain industrial
activities (Seveso III) in a decree. The decree is known in the
Netherlands as the Brzo 2015. This new decree will replace the
existing Brzo 1999. The most significant change is the new
hazardous substances classification. This may lead to a situation
where a company has to comply with the new hazardous substances
rules as of 1 June 2015, even though it has no such obligations
under the current regulatory regime.
