Sähkömääräyksistä

Sähkömääräyksistä refers to regulations and directives concerning electrical installations and safety in Finland. These rules are established to ensure that electrical work is carried out safely, preventing hazards such as electric shock, fires, and damage to equipment. The primary governing body responsible for overseeing these regulations is the Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency (Tukes).

The regulations cover a wide range of aspects related to electricity. This includes the design, installation, maintenance, and inspection of electrical systems in buildings, industrial settings, and other environments. Specific requirements are outlined for different types of electrical equipment, wiring methods, protective devices, and earthing systems. The goal is to minimize risks to people, property, and the environment.

Compliance with sähkömääräyksistä is mandatory for all electrical work performed in Finland. This involves ensuring that only qualified and authorized electricians carry out installations. Furthermore, regular inspections and testing of electrical systems are required to verify their safety and adherence to the regulations. Tukes plays a crucial role in setting these standards, providing guidance, and enforcing compliance through inspections and audits. The overarching aim is to maintain a high level of electrical safety across the country.
