Temporary Activity Certificate (TAC) Application Consultancy
TAC application step by step: e-Permit system, provincial directorate compliance letter, required documents and timelines. Transition smoothly from a 1-year TAC to your environmental permit.
A Temporary Activity Certificate (TAC) is a time-limited intermediate document obtained by businesses within the scope of the Environmental Permit and License Regulation prior to the final environmental permit or environmental permit and license. EuropeCarbon plans together the scope control, preparation of physical conditions, compliance letter, technical application file and the subsequent permit/license stage.
What is a Temporary Activity Certificate?
A Temporary Activity Certificate (TAC) is a time-limited intermediate document obtained by businesses within the scope of the Environmental Permit and License Regulation prior to the final environmental permit or environmental permit and license. EuropeCarbon plans together the scope control, preparation of physical conditions, compliance letter, technical application file and the subsequent permit/license stage. Impartiality and scope note: TAC is not a final environmental permit or license document. The relevant permit/license application must be completed within the certificate's validity period; the current period, additional documents and application requirements must be verified from the official system at the time of the transaction.
Who is this service suitable for?
New businesses within EPLR Annex-1 or Annex-2 scope. Facilities adding a new environmental permit/license subject. Businesses whose activity location or permit scope is changing. Organizations requiring a TAC due to a document renewal/transition condition. When should you start? Data owners and scope should be determined before a customer request, tender or audit date is expected. This way, missing supplier data, measurement gaps and document revisions do not remain on the critical calendar.
What outputs do you receive at the end of the project?
Annex-1/Annex-2 and permit/license subject analysis. Application prerequisites checklist. Preparation of the Provincial Directorate Compliance Letter. File of common and subject-specific technical documents. Electronic application and deficiency tracking. Post-TAC permit/license calendar. TAC: a time-limited intermediate document prior to the final permit/license. Environmental permit: assessment of emission, discharge and related permit subjects. Environmental license: technical competence for licensing activities defined in the regulation. Exemption opinion: assessment that the business does not fall within EPLR scope.
The value it provides to your organization
Complete prerequisites: Site conditions and application documents are checked together. Correct permit subject: Emission, discharge and license headings are matched with scope. Timeline management: The steps of the final application after the TAC are scheduled.
End-to-end consultancy process
Scope and gap analysis: The target market, product/facility boundary, claim, program and data owners are determined; existing evidence is tested with sampling. Implementation and technical file: Data is quality-controlled; calculations, procedures, records and evidence are matched with the requirements of the standard or scheme. Independent assessment preparation: Internal control is carried out, open points are closed and coordination is provided for findings from independent audit or program review.
Data required at the outset
EIA decision, license and capacity documents. Process flow diagram and site layout plan. Emission, wastewater and noise information. Technical documents for the waste license subject. Measurement, analysis, compliance and financial liability records. What determines the duration and price? The number of products and facilities, scope, data readiness, supply chain depth, testing or licensing needs, target program and independent assessment scope determine the budget and timeline. After the preliminary review, tasks, responsibilities and delivery dates are presented within the proposal.
Common mistakes and prevention approach
Clarifying scope too late: The target claim and program are put in writing from the start. Using unsupported assumptions: A record of source, period, unit and quality is kept for each data point. Confusing consultancy with the decision process: Independent assessment and certification roles are clearly separated.
