Sähköturvallisuuslakeihin

Sähköturvallisuuslakeihin refer to electrical safety legislation in Finland. These laws aim to ensure the safe use of electricity and prevent accidents, fires, and damage to property caused by electrical installations and equipment.

The primary legislation governing electrical safety in Finland is the Electricity Market Act (Sähkömarkkinalaki) and the Decree on Electrical Installations (Sähköasennusasetus). These laws cover various aspects, including the design, installation, maintenance, and inspection of electrical systems.

Key aspects of electrical safety legislation include requirements for qualified electricians to perform installations, the use of approved electrical equipment, and regular inspections of electrical systems to ensure they meet safety standards. The legislation also addresses the responsibilities of property owners and users in maintaining electrical safety.

The Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency (Tukes) is the supervisory authority responsible for overseeing the implementation and enforcement of electrical safety regulations. Tukes provides guidance, conducts inspections, and investigates incidents related to electrical safety.

Compliance with sähköturvallisuuslakeihin is crucial for all individuals and organizations involved in the use of electricity. Adhering to these regulations helps protect lives, prevent injuries, and ensure the reliable operation of electrical systems.
