Scope of prescriptions
Standard order – Ministerial order

Unlike the prefectoral authorization system, environmental law does not confer on the declaration system the principle of integration, which makes it possible to regulate not only the facility covered by the system, but also all those likely to interact with it, regardless of their environmental regimes and impacts.

This means that the ministerial order is limited in scope, and will only regulate the facility in question, which is the subject of the declaration.

Even though certain provisions may have a more general application to the entire facility (noise at property limits, control of electrical installations, etc.), these technical specifications are applicable only to the declared facility and only to the declared facility.
