Implementation aid
This Particle Filter List is an implementation guide issued by the FOEN in its capacity as a supervisory authority, and is addressed primarily to the enforcement authorities. It seeks to clarify undefined legal concepts contained in the relevant Acts and ordinances so as to facilitate consistent enforcement practices. Authorities who give due consideration to these guides can safely assume that federal law is being correctly implemented. Alternative approaches are, however, permissible provided they comply with the legal requirements. Guides of this kind (until now also referred to as guidelines, instructions, recommendations, handbooks, enforcement aids, etc.) are published by the FOEN in the series entitled "Environment in practice".
