Compliance
Compliance checker
Understand the emission rules, permits and water-cremation status in your country, then make sure your tender covers every compliance point.
Step 1
Country checker
Legal framework
Federal emission control law with a specific ordinance for crematoria (27. BImSchV); burial and cremation law is set by each federal state.
Emission requirements
Strict limits for dust, carbon monoxide, organic carbon and dioxins/furans; continuous monitoring is commonly required.
Permits to plan for
Immission-control approval plus state-level cremation/burial rules; expect stack height and noise assessments.
Water cremation
Alkaline hydrolysis is not an established route under most state burial laws; check the relevant state.
- Ask suppliers for references in German plants with 27. BImSchV compliance
- Budget for continuous emission monitoring
- Confirm state rules on ash handling
