Seveso facilities — viewing service

The Sefari system has been developed to meet the requirements for reporting inspections under Council Directive 2012/18/EU on the control of major-accident hazards involving dangerous substances, the so-called Seveso III Directive, to the European Commission. In Sweden, the Directive has been implemented through, among other things, the Act (SFS 1999:381) on measures to prevent and limit the consequences of serious chemical accidents. The new Sefari system covers activities under Seveso legislation, activities under the Accident Protection Act and the Extractive Waste Ordinance and the INSPIRE Directive. The Sefari system includes activities that deal extensively with hazardous substances (including Seveso operations), dams, nuclear installations, airports and mines. All in accordance with the various legislations. The information in the system is used, for example, as a basis for MSB’s reporting to the European Commission on how Sweden complies with the Seveso Directive, in supervisory guidance and in various compilations. The Sefari system allows the county administrative boards to update the information in the system via the Internet.
