Water protection documentation – professional support for your units

What is the water protection documentation and why is it important?

The water protection documentation from the regulation on systems for handling substances hazardous to water (AwSV) is a central basis for the regulatory-compliant operation of systems that work with such substances. Carefully prepared documentation ensures that all relevant technical and legal information is brought together centrally. We provide you with comprehensive support in the creation and optimization of your water protection documentation.

Comprehensive support in the creation of your Water protection documentation

Our support covers all aspects of the water protection documentation and AwSV topics. In addition to the evaluation of protected areas, this also includes basic aspects such as plant demarcation and risk level determination. However, we also advise you on operational requirements (e.g. inspections by third-party experts and preparation of operating instructions) as well as the approval procedures derived from the WHG and AwSV.

Another focus is on the clear presentation of the requirements for primary and secondary substance containment and retention. If necessary, we work closely with AwSV experts and fire protection experts to ensure that the interface requirements are also met in a targeted manner.

Our structured approach ensures that your documentation not only meets the legal requirements, but also remains practical for your everyday operations.

FAQ zur Water protection documentation (AwSV)

Water protection documentation under the regulation on installations for handling substances hazardous to water (AwSV) is a central basis for regulatory‑compliant operation of systems working with such substances. PUR Ingenieur supports all activities related to AwSV system documentation, AwSV unit descriptions, and the associated technical descriptions.

It is required for AwSV systems that handle substances hazardous to water and forms the basis for efficient approval procedures derived from the WHG (Federal Water Act) and AwSV. We clarify plant demarcation and risk levels early and support you through the related authority processes.

Typical content includes delimitation of AwSV systems (Section 14 AwSV), determination of the risk level (Section 39 AwSV), clear presentation of requirements for primary and secondary substance containment or retention, determination of required retention volumes, definition of extinguishing‑water retention in collaboration with fire protection and AwSV experts, coordination of AwSV expert reports, and creation of AwSV site plans.

We follow a structured approach: evaluate protected areas, define plant demarcation, determine risk levels, advise on operational requirements (e.g., inspections by third‑party experts and preparation of operating instructions), and align with approval procedures derived from the WHG and AwSV. Where needed, we work closely with AwSV and fire‑protection experts to meet all interface requirements.

The key legal bases are the AwSV — including Section 14 (system delimitation) and Section 39 (risk level determination) — and approval procedures derived from the WHG and AwSV.

Through clearly structured documentation of containment and retention requirements, regular inspections by third‑party experts, and operational documents such as operating instructions — all coordinated within your AwSV system documentation.

Legally compliant, clearly structured, and future‑proof documentation; targeted presentation of primary/secondary containment and retention; and a methodology that makes documents easy to hand over to experts and authorities, ensuring efficient procedures and practical day‑to‑day use.

We provide end‑to‑end support: system delimitation, risk level determination, containment/retention requirements, retention volume calculations, interface coordination with AwSV and fire‑protection experts, expert report coordination, and AwSV site plans — all with a structured logic you can use with authorities and experts.

We align with operational requirements such as inspections by third‑party experts and operating instructions and integrate the AwSV documentation with approval procedures derived from the WHG and AwSV to keep expectations clear and processing efficient.

Our structured procedures and combined technical‑legal expertise produce clear, scalable documentation that meets legal requirements and is straightforward for experts and authorities to review — giving you long‑term planning security.
