Identify obligations related to the modernization plan for industrial facilities

On January 13, 2010, France launched a plan to manage the risks associated with the ageing of industrial facilities, pipelines for the transport of hazardous materials and pressurized equipment. It has given rise to several ministerial decrees, circulars and professional guides.

You are the operator of an industrial site where cryogenic tanks, vertical cylindrical overhead tanks, capacities and piping, civil engineering structures or instrumented risk control measures are used.

You must identify any signs of ageing equipment, implement a modernization plan for these installations and monitor the effectiveness of the measures implemented to control it.
