Standard IFCL 8010:2023 – Safety Management systems for chemical logistic storage facilities

Description

The Seveso III Directive was implemented in the EU in 2012 to reduce the risks associated with the storage and handling of hazardous chemicals.

This Standard shows how a Safety Management System (SMS) can be set up, but does not guarantee that the laws and regulations of each individual country will be complied with.  However, it does provide a good basis for logistics companies to comply with the European Seveso directive.  The aim is to introduce a single standard for companies in chemical logistics.  The examples should be applied to one’s own situation.

This standard has been drawn up by a team of representatives from the business community,  the Dutch trade association for chemical logistics VNCW and the IFCL (International Foundation for Chemical Logistics).
