3. Premises Located in Specific Industrial Areas (ALE)

Premises located in specific industrial areas (ALE) are approved by the societies responsible for the management of those areas (“Sociedades Gestoras de ALE”), which will be accredited for that competence, regardless the typology of premises.

The legislation redefining the competent authorities for approval purposes was put in force very recently, therefore the specific industrial areas (ALE) are not yet established and the corresponding management societies were not constituted so far.
