The Council of Ministers has approved the Basic Civil Protection Planning Guideline regarding the risk of serious accidents involving hazardous substances, replacing Royal Decree 1196/2003 (Council of Ministers Agreement of 6 October 2026). This regulation establishes the minimum criteria and actions for drafting special civil protection plans for chemical, biological, nuclear, or radiological risks (Art. 15.3 Law 17/2015). Its objective is to ensure consistency in the management of emergencies requiring the involvement of multiple Public Administrations (Art. 3 RD 524/2023).
For Public Administrations, the regulation imposes a coordinated framework of action and uniform technical criteria for managing hazardous substance risks (Art. 3 RD 524/2023). Entities managing facilities with chemical, biological, or nuclear substances must align their emergency plans with these new planning criteria (Art. 15.3 Law 17/2015). A technical standard is established for delimiting areas affected by thermal phenomena or toxic clouds (Annex).
