Ludwigshafen
Onboarding and management of external persons

A modern, competitive company stands above all for the end-to-end digitization of all security services. On this page you will find all the important steps - for you and your company - to make working at the Ludwigshafen site possible.
Permant ID cards are a key security feature at BASF. To increase protection against unauthorised access, revised security rules for plant ID cards will apply at the Ludwigshafen site from 1 October 2025.
BASF ID cards belonging to contractors, site partners and third parties will in future be automatically blocked if they have not been used to access the plant for more than 45 days.
If a plant ID card is blocked, contractors, site partners and third parties can reactivate it themselves via the ‘Security System’ portal. Reactivation is also possible at any plant access point staffed by plant security, as well as at the reception areas (south and north) on site.
