Frequently Asked Questions
about Storage Technology

The obligation arises from the AwSV regulation. As soon as you store fuels, oils or chemicals classified as water-polluting, an approved spill containment tray is required – generally 10% of the largest individual container, but at least the volume of the largest packaging unit.

PE is corrosion-free and ideal for acids, alkalis and fuels. Steel spill trays have higher load capacity under mechanical stress from forklifts. Steel is recommended for workshops – PE for chemical storage and outdoor areas.

According to AwSV, at least 10% of the total volume of stored water-polluting substances, but at minimum the volume of the largest individual container. If in doubt, your competent water authority will advise.

A spill containment tray protects against leaks beneath storage containers. A filling station is a complete station for active handling – with grating, pump and hose connections and integrated containment function.

Hazardous materials depots must be designed in accordance with TRGS 510: adequately ventilated, with a spill containment tray, lockable and equipped with hazard labels. Depending on the quantity stored, additional requirements for fire protection and installation location apply.

Important to know

Tips for
the right choice

🔍 Match material to stored substance

Not every material is compatible with every substance. Fuels, acids and solvents require specifically suitable materials – check the data sheet or ask us.

📐 Calculate containment volume before purchase

The retention volume must exceed the largest container – plus a safety buffer for extinguishing agents in the case of flammable substances.

🏗️ Combination systems save space

Barrel racks with integrated spill containment trays or filling stations as complete systems are often more economical and easier to get approved by authorities.

⚠️ Check AwSV compliance

Not all low-cost trays meet AwSV requirements. Look out for test marks and certifications. All products at tankundlager.com are labelled accordingly.
