Existing type tests are replaced by a declaration of conformity (UHP) by the manufacturer; collection systems with a collection volume up to 1000 litres must be manufactured according to the steel trough guidelines (Stawa-R). However, DIBt can issue general constructional approval for products that do not meet the Stawa-R guidelines and for collection systems made from plastic. |

| 2. Specialized manufacturer as per § 19 l WHG | 6. Resistance of the collection troughs | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Units for the storage of waterendangering and other hazardous substances can only be manufactured and installed by specialized manufacturer as per § 19 l WHG. The overall suitability certificate as per DIN 18800 for such constructors is also required. | In cases of doubt it is always correct when the collection trough is made from the same material as the container in which the hazardous substance is stored. In most cases this is 3 mm steel. The use of stainless steel or plastic is necessary for the storage of acids and alkalis. Chemical resistance lists are useful for selecting the materials. |
