5. Without prejudice to Article 11, the operator shall periodically review and where necessary update the safety report at least every five years.
The operator shall also review and where necessary update the safety report following a major accident at its establishment, and at any other time at the initiative of the operator or at the request of the competent authority, where justified by new facts or by new technological knowledge about safety matters, including knowledge arising from analysis of accidents or, as far as possible, ‘near misses’, and by developments in knowledge concerning the assessment of hazards.
The updated safety report or updated parts thereof shall be sent to the competent authority without delay.
