Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an APQ warehouse and a SEVESO one?

APQ (Spanish Royal Decree 656/2017) sets out how each family of dangerous substances must be stored and applies to all chemical storage. SEVESO classification is added when quantities exceed the thresholds of the European directive. Our plants in Tarragona and Italy have both.

Which chemical products can you store?

Flammable, corrosive, toxic, oxidising, irritant, organic peroxides, carcinogenic or mutagenic, and hazardous to the environment. Compatibility is assessed product by product: send us the safety data sheet.

In which formats do you accept goods?

Drum, IBC, sack, big bag and tanker. In palletised storage with individual access to every pallet, or in bulk in stainless steel silos.

Where are the facilities?

In Spain and Italy, all our own. The Tarragona and Italy plants also hold SEVESO classification.

Do you also handle and transport the product?

Yes. Dangerous goods do not change operator between the warehouse and dispatch, with staff trained in chemical products and PPE selected for each substance.

Who verifies that the warehouse complies with the regulations?

A certification body accredited by the Government of Catalonia's Control Body, with annual external verification (Royal Decree 379/2001). SEVESO facilities are also subject to audits by the authorities.
