Serviceforbindelsen

Serviceforbindelsen is a term used in Danish utility and infrastructure contexts to describe the connection between the public utility network and a private property’s installation. It encompasses the portion of the connection that is operated by the utility company as well as the boundary up to which the customer is responsible. The exact division of responsibility depends on the type of service, local regulations, and the contractual agreement with the utility provider.

In electrical systems, the serviceforbindelsen typically includes the service drop or service lateral from the distribution network to the customer’s meter, the metering equipment, and the main service conductors that enter the property. The utility is normally responsible for the equipment up to the customer side of the meter or a defined demarcation point, while the customer is responsible for the installation beyond that point, including the building’s internal wiring and the main service panel. Safety, compliance with electrical codes, and proper installation are governed by national and local regulations and must be carried out by qualified professionals.

In other contexts, such as water, gas, or telecommunications, the serviceforbindelsen refers to the link from the public distribution system to the customer’s premises or to a designated demarcation point within the property. Regulations typically cover how these connections are installed, maintained, and tested, with responsibilities split between the utility and the customer.

Overall, the concept emphasizes the boundary between utility-operated infrastructure and customer-owned installations, along with the duties for safe and reliable service.
