Krävsperiodvis

Krävsperiodvis is a Swedish term used in technical and administrative language to denote that a task or requirement applies at regular intervals. It is formed from krävs, the present form of kräva (to require), and periodvis, meaning periodically, and is used to express a cadence of actions that must be performed at specified intervals.

In practice, the expression appears in instructions, maintenance schedules, inspections, compliance documents and quality manuals. It is often used to indicate that a procedure must be carried out at a defined cadence, such as monthly, quarterly, or yearly. The spelling varies: some writers write it as a single word krävsperiodvis, while others prefer the two-word form krävs periodvis. There is no universally binding rule, and the choice can reflect organizational style rather than meaning.

Examples: "Kontrollerna ska genomföras krävsperiodvis." "Säkerhetsgranskningar utförs krävsperiodvis (t.ex. varje kvartal)." "Dokumentationen uppdateras krävsperiodvis och vid större förändringar." In many contexts, the exact interval is specified elsewhere in the document (policy, standard, or schedule).

Notes: The term is more common in Swedish professional and regulatory texts than in everyday language, and may be encountered in checklists, standard operating procedures, and maintenance manuals. It serves to emphasize that the action is not one-off but required at recurring intervals.
