France Industrial Sites ICPE: Seveso, Permits, Inspections

Get the official register of French classified industrial sites (ICPE, "installations classées pour la protection de l'environnement") as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. About 139,000 sites: factories, chemical plants, warehouses, waste and recycling sites, quarries, wind farms, large farms, Seveso sites.

Data comes straight from the public Géorisques API of the French Ministry of Ecological Transition (operated by BRGM), under the Licence Ouverte / Open Licence v2.0 (Etalab), which allows commercial reuse. Every row cites the source, the licence and the retrieval date.

What you get for each site

• Operator name, SIRET / SIREN, NAF division
• Address, city, INSEE code, department, GPS coordinates
• Permit regime (Autorisation, Enregistrement, other regimes), Seveso status (high / low threshold), IED flag, national inspection priority, operating status
• Site type: industry, quarry, wind farm, cattle / pig / poultry farm
• Inspection authority (DREAL/DDPP), inspection dates and public inspection report links (PDF)
• Prefectoral orders and other official documents (links)
• Classified activities (ICPE nomenclature codes, regime, quantities and units)
• Date of the last change of the Géorisques record and a link to the official site page
• New: pollutant emissions (IREP register) for the about 13,800 sites that report them: CO2 in tonnes per year (total and fossil), all quantified air, water and soil emissions (kg per year), hazardous and non-hazardous waste produced or treated (tonnes), water withdrawals and wastewater discharges (m3), E-PRTR activity. Latest year available (2025 declarations, published by Géorisques in September 2026). No extra charge.

Who uses it

• Environmental, safety and compliance consultants looking for Seveso or IED sites in a region
• Industrial suppliers and service companies (waste, maintenance, safety equipment, energy) building lead lists of industrial sites with SIRET
• Insurers, banks and real-estate / site-selection teams checking industrial risks near an address (radius search)
• Journalists and researchers following inspections and prefectoral orders

How to search

Choose one area: departments, cities (INSEE codes), or a point + radius. Leave all empty to scan the whole of France. You can also give SIRET numbers (fastest) or SIREN numbers. Then refine with: operator name, NAF division, permit regime, Seveso status, site type, IED only, in operation only, updated since, last inspection since. Emission filters: only sites that report emissions (IREP), minimum CO2 in tonnes per year (for example 10,000 for the about 840 largest emitters), and the IREP year.

Alert mode: turn on "only new or changed sites" and schedule the actor weekly. You only get new sites, new inspections, new documents or updated records.

Example input

{ "departments": ["13"], "seveso": "seveso", "activeOnly": true, "maxItems": 500 }

Largest CO2 emitters of a department, flat table:

{ "departments": ["13"], "minCo2Tonnes": 100000, "includeDetails": false }

Pricing

$0.002 per delivered site (pay per event). You are not charged for filtered-out sites, excluded private individuals, sites already seen in alert mode, or the summary row. Use "Maximum sites" to cap a run.

Privacy

This actor only returns sites run by companies and public bodies. When an operator name looks like a private person (for example a sole-trader farmer), the actor checks the official SIRENE register; sole traders and unverifiable names are excluded and only counted in the run summary.

Notes

• Source: Géorisques, base des installations classées (ICPE), https://www.georisques.gouv.fr/donnees/bases-de-donnees/installations-industrielles. Data is updated by the inspection services; each row has sourceUpdatedAt and retrievedAt.
• Emissions source: Géorisques, Registre français des émissions polluantes (IREP), yearly files, https://www.georisques.gouv.fr/donnees/bases-de-donnees/installations-industrielles-rejetant-des-polluants (Licence Ouverte). Joined to sites by the official site id (code AIOT). Pollutants below the reporting threshold are only counted (belowThresholdCount). Sites that do not report get irepReported: false.
• Declaration-regime sites are only partly present in the national base (this is how the source works).
• This actor is not affiliated with the French administration.
