Abstract A survey is made of German (Fed.Rep.) laws, regulations and guidelines on the storage of flammable and toxic substances. It is shown that provisions on combined storage of hazardous substances and on containment basins for fire extinguishing liquids are contradictory. Storage facilities equipped with sprinklers and smoke detectors are described, allowing separate storage according to hazard category.
