Custom inspection file for liquid-tight facilities
Under the Dutch Environment and Planning Decree (Besluit activiteiten leefomgeving), a liquid-tight soil protection system must be assessed and approved after installation, and at least once every six years thereafter, by an inspection body accredited for AS SIKB 6700, and it must be checked every year. Everything that happens along the way belongs in a log. With a company that has multiple sites, floors and sewer sections, that quickly gets lost. Appfront builds software for the inspection file: for each facility the installation, the assessments, the annual checks, the defects and the repairs, with deadlines in view and the log ready for the competent authority.
What is software for the inspection file of liquid-tight facilities?
An inspection file for liquid-tight facilities records, for each site, which floors, paved areas and sewer sections must be liquid-tight and what condition they are in. Article 5.19 of the Environment and Planning Decree requires that a liquid-tight soil protection system and the liquid-tight part of the foul sewer be assessed and approved as soon as possible after installation, and at least once every six years thereafter, in accordance with AS SIKB 6700. In addition, an annual check is carried out in accordance with Annex 6 of AS SIKB 6700, and any defect must be repaired within three months. Article 5.20 requires a log of checks, assessments, maintenance and repairs.
Without a file, that information is scattered. The certificate from the last inspection sits in a folder at the site, the annual check is a ticked-off form, and the fact that someone had a crack in the floor repaired is buried in an invoice. When the six years run out, you only find out when the regulator asks. After a repair by a company without a BRL SIKB 7700 certificate, the repaired section has to be assessed again, and this is often forgotten. With ten sites, nobody knows any more which floor is due where.
We build custom software because every organisation has different facilities and a different way of working. A petrol station has a forecourt and a filling point, a garage has a workshop floor and an oil separator, and a logistics company has a wash bay and a hazardous-substances store. Which facilities you have, who carries out the annual inspection, which inspection body you work with and which systems you already use for maintenance and facility management all determine what the software does.

How we build your software for the liquid-tight facilities inspection file
We start with your sites and your paperwork: which facilities there are, which certificates and inspection reports you have, who carries out the annual inspection and how repairs are currently handled. Then we build a first version with the register of facilities, the latest assessment and the deadline for the next one, because that is where most of the risk lies. Your environmental coordinator works with it for a while. The annual inspection with photos, repairs with reassessment and the integration with your maintenance system follow once that is going well. After that, we keep the software up to date when the rules or the protocol change.

Who we build software for the liquid-tight facilities inspection file for
The software is intended for companies where liquid-tight facilities are part of day-to-day operations and where the file is currently scattered across sites, folders and invoices. The more sites you have, the more it delivers.
Petrol stations
Forecourt and filling point.
Garages
Workshop and wash bay.
Logistics
Storage and tank area.
Industry
Production and chemical storage.

This page is about the file for liquid-tight floors, paving and the liquid-tight part of the drainage system. For the tanks themselves, with installation certificate and inspections, see our page on the tank inspection file. If you are an inspection body carrying out the assessments, take a look at inspection planning software for inspection companies; for the enforcement authority, see our page on software for environmental agencies, and for the public sewer system, our page on sewer software. You can read about our approach at building software.
Why Appfront for your software for the liquid-tight facilities inspection file?
An assessment found to have expired during an environmental agency inspection, a repair without reassessment, or a log that cannot be found can lead to an enforcement procedure for a company and, in the worst case, soil contamination. That is what we build around: every facility with its status, deadlines in view in good time, and the log always available.

Deadlines monitored.

Demonstrable
Log per facility.
Security and privacy for software for the liquid-tight facilities inspection file
The file holds company details, floor plans and inspection reports. Access is set up per role: a site manager sees their own location, the environmental coordinator sees all locations, and an external inspector sees only what they need for their assessment. Every change is recorded with name and time, and an uploaded certificate cannot be overwritten.
The software runs in a European data centre, with encrypted connections and storage and daily backups. The logbook is also valid in digital form, as long as it is available to the competent authority; the software can export it per location, so it can be shown at the site during an inspection.
Frequently asked questions about software for the inspection file of liquid-tight facilities
Questions that environmental coordinators, facility managers and business owners ask before they get started.
The file that records, per location, which liquid-tight floors, paved areas and sewer sections there are, when they were built and assessed, what the annual checks found and what repairs have been carried out. It also contains the logbook required by the Besluit activiteiten leefomgeving (Environment and Planning Act activities decree).
Under Article 5.19 of the Besluit activiteiten leefomgeving, as soon as possible after construction and at least once every six years thereafter, by an inspection body certified for AS SIKB 6700. If the floor was built by a company certified for BRL SIKB 7700, the first assessment is due no later than six years after construction. In addition, there is an annual check for defects.
Details of checks, assessments, maintenance and repairs of the soil protection facilities. The logbook may be digital, as long as it is available when the competent authority asks for it.
The repaired section must be reassessed and approved, unless the repair was carried out by a company certified for BRL SIKB 7700. For each repair, the software records who carried it out, whether a reassessment is needed and when it was done.
Yes, the same assessments and checks apply to the liquid-tight part of the wastewater sewer. For underground sewers that were already in place before the Besluit activiteiten leefomgeving, a different assessment method is possible under certain conditions. The software registers sewer sections as separate facilities.
Yes. The employee walks past the facilities, ticks off the points on the checklist, takes photos of defects and records where they are. A defect goes straight onto the list with the deadline for repair.
