Frequently Asked Questions

The new portal contains the accounts that existed in the previous version of the NRIZ system. Passwords could not be transferred, for technical and security reasons. All transferred accounts are therefore inactive. Before first use, the account must be activated and a password must be set.

The steps are described in Activate an account from the previous version of the NRIZ system.

NRIZ is managed by the Environmental Protection Agency of the Republic of Serbia. Reports are submitted electronically through the NRIZ portal.

The system operates at the national level and can also be used for reporting under international obligations (EU, UN, and others).

No. The obligation exists only for companies and legal entities whose activities fall under the Regulation on types of activities required to submit data to NRIZ — for example industrial plants, recycling companies, concrete plants, or boilers over 1 MW.

After the company is active in the portal, the entities and obligations shown there define which forms can be created. If an obligation appears missing or wrong, contact NRIZ support with company identifiers (for example PIB and company name).

The report is submitted per location, not as one central report for the whole company.

If there are several facilities (for example production and a warehouse), a separate report is submitted for each facility that meets the requirements of the Regulation.

Yes. Even if there were no activities during the year, the company is still required to submit a so-called zero report. That informs the authority that there were no emissions during the year, while the entity remains active.

Failure to submit this report is also treated as an offence.

The report covers four categories:

• Emissions into air, water, and soil
• Types and quantities of waste
• Consumption of raw materials, water, and energy sources
• Technical description of plants and equipment

In the portal this is split across forms that match the assigned reporting obligations.

Waste codes are taken from the Waste Catalogue, which is part of the Waste Management Rulebook. Classification follows the company’s activities and the applicable regulations.

The codes used in NRIZ should match the company’s waste records and, where relevant, the GIO report.

Not necessarily. If automatic monitoring is not available, emissions can be calculated using emission factors, based on:

• type of fuel
• consumption
• technical characteristics of the equipment

Calculations follow the Agency’s methodology.

Yes. The NRIZ report can serve as part of technical documentation for:

• Inspection supervision
• ISO 14001 / EMAS certification
• Participation in environmental projects
• Applications for subsidies or international reporting

That is why the report should be prepared accurately.

The deadline is 31 March of each year — for data from the previous calendar year.

For example, by 31 March 2025 the report for 2024 must be submitted. Daily waste forms, when assigned, are submitted by date during the year.

According to the Environmental Protection Law (Article 112), the following fines apply:

• Legal entities: from 500,000 RSD to 2,000,000 RSD
• Responsible persons: from 50,000 RSD to 150,000 RSD

Additional measures are also possible: prohibition of performing activities and temporary closure of the facility.

A retroactive report can be submitted, but only if the Agency accepts the justification for the delay.

Contact NRIZ support with company identifiers and the reporting year.

This is also treated as an offence under the law, but fines may be lower if the error is corrected promptly.

After submit, forms are locked. A correction from NRIZ may be required before the data can be changed.

If the Agency requests additional information, amendments, or corrections, contact NRIZ support.

Submitted forms stay locked until NRIZ unlocks them for correction.
