Installationskrav

Installationskrav, or installation requirements, is a term used to describe the set of conditions and criteria that must be met in order to install a product, system or equipment. The concept covers both software installations and physical or infrastructural installations, including industrial, electrical, or building projects. The requirements aim to ensure correct operation, safety, regulatory compliance, and successful commissioning.

Typical elements of installationskrav include prerequisites such as compatible hardware, operating system version, network access, and available disk space; dependencies such as runtimes, libraries, or ancillary software; and permissions or access rights needed to perform the installation. Environmental and infrastructural conditions are also specified, including power supply, temperature, humidity, space, grounding, and protective measures. Licensing, permits, and regulatory or standards compliance may be required, along with documentation like installation guides, user manuals, and warranty terms.

The installation process is usually described in a separate plan or manual, but the requirements themselves should be verified before starting. This includes site readiness checks, validation tests, and acceptance criteria to confirm that the installation meets specified performance and safety standards. Post-installation considerations often cover maintenance, updates, security patches, and support arrangements.

Installationskrav are important for risk management, budgeting, and project scheduling. They help ensure that installations are feasible, compliant, and reproducible, and they provide a basis for evaluating feasibility, conducting audits, and planning future upgrades.
