Central reporting and evaluation point for incidents and malfunctions
According to the Hazardous Incident Ordinance (12th BImSchV), the Central Reporting and Evaluation Office for Incidents and Disruptions (ZEMA) records all reportable events, which it evaluates and publishes in annual reports.
The reportable events are divided into accidents and malfunctions in normal operation according to their hazard potential. The systematic recording and evaluation of the events is intended to provide findings that serve as the basis for further development of the state of safety technology.
In 1993, the central reporting and evaluation center for incidents and malfunctions in process engineering systems (ZEMA) was set up at the Federal Environment Agency . This created the organizational prerequisites for the systematic recording and evaluation of incidents and malfunctions in plants that are subject to the Incident Ordinance in the Federal Republic of Germany. At the beginning of 2016, ZEMA had 685 detailed national reports on incidents and malfunctions in safety-relevant systems from 1980 to 2015, which can be researched online. The website, which was set up in 1999, provides the public with German, European and international information on incidents and malfunctions with hazardous substances in process engineering plants in an open portal.
