Noise standards in zoned industrial estates
If your company is established on a zoned industrial estate in the Netherlands, you must comply with noise regulations. The combined noise emissions of companies on a zoned industrial estate may not exceed a certain level. The municipal authority designates the applicable industrial estates in the zoning plan. All companies must submit an acoustic survey (in Dutch) to the municipal authority when establishing, changing or expanding its activities on a zoned industrial estate. The municipal authority is responsible for the zone’s management.
Requesting zone management for industrial noise
If you want to know the maximum noise levels for businesses in your business park, you can request the zone management system from the provincial authorities.
