KRITIS Umbrella Act: How do you ensure fire protection?
On 29 January 2026, the German Bundestag adopted the KRITIS Umbrella Act, thereby transposing the CER Directive (EU) 2022/2557 into German national law. For the first time, this legislation establishes an independent, nationwide legal framework for the physical protection and resilience of critical infrastructures. The aim of the Act is to systematically and sustainably strengthen the resilience of critical facilities against physical threats, natural hazards, and hybrid risks.
