CBRN Framework Concept

The Framework Concept for CBRN Protection establishes a capability-oriented, standardised system for civil protection against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats. It provides a conceptual and organisational basis for coordinated planning, training, and operational procedures across federal, state, and local authorities.

The document focuses on defining required capabilities rather than existing structures, integrating CBRN protection within the broader civil protection system. It addresses various threat scenarios, sets binding standards, and emphasises the importance of preparedness, self-help, and risk communication.

Additionally, it outlines responsibilities, coordination mechanisms, and the continuous development of CBRN-specific capabilities, ensuring a coherent and resilient national approach to CBRN emergencies.
