Swedish insurance companies require audit inspections of electrical plant to ascertain whether the facility meets mandatory requirements and relevant safety standards.
The safety of electrical plant is affected by age and constant use. For this reason proper maintenance and regular checks and inspections are essential to minimise the risk of fires and/or personal injury.
Under the terms of an agreement reached by the parties concerned, the Electrical Committee of the Swedish Fire Protection Association serves as the central body for the country's insurance companies with regard to a number of electrical safety issues. It promotes safety through measures aimed at preventing damage by fire, damage to machinery, interruptions in supply or production, and personal injury.
