Customised rules
Customised rules are intended to sharpen the general binding rules or to adjust them at the same level. In this way, customisation can be given on the general binding rules.

When a customised rule applies
It is sometimes possible to deviate from a general binding rule with a customised rule. The starting point is that the general binding rules apply. Customised rules are only meant to tighten a general binding rule or to adjust it at the same level to give customisation.
The possibility for customised rules is set out in article 2.3 of the IAB BES. A ccustomised rule can be about:
- Environmental topics included in the decree, such as noise, odor and vibrations. These topics are set out in article 2.1 of the decree
- General binding rules of the ministerial regulation establishments and activities BES (RIA BES)
- General binding rules in the Island ordinance
A customised rule can be about an environmental topics, for example noise, for which the general binding rules do not cover all possible situations. It is also said that an environmental topic is ‘not exhaustive’ regulated.
In certain cases, other (lower) noise values can then be determined with a customised rule . For example, when the ambient noise is so low that the standard limit value causes nuisance to the environment.
Procedure
The competent authority (the Executive Council) can impose a customised rule on a company. But you can make a request to the competent authority to set a customised rule.
Customised rules will be made public and will be available for consultation at least for 6 weeks.
