Sähkötarkastukset

Sähkötarkastukset refer to electrical inspections conducted in Finland. These inspections are a mandatory part of ensuring the safety and proper functioning of electrical installations in buildings and other structures. The primary goal of these inspections is to identify and rectify any potential hazards that could lead to electrical fires, shocks, or damage to equipment.

There are different types of sähkötarkastukset depending on the situation. An initial inspection, or "käyttöönottotarkastus," is performed when a new electrical installation is completed or significantly altered. This ensures that the installation meets all relevant safety standards and regulations before it is put into use. Regular inspections, or "määräaikaistarkastukset," are carried out at predetermined intervals to verify the continued safety and compliance of existing installations. The frequency of these regular inspections varies based on the type of building and its usage.

Furthermore, special inspections, or "erityistarkastukset," may be required after an incident, such as a fire or electrical fault, or if there are specific concerns about the installation's safety. The inspections are carried out by authorized inspection bodies or qualified electrical inspectors. Following an inspection, a report is issued detailing the findings. If any deficiencies are found, corrective actions must be taken within a specified timeframe, and a re-inspection may be necessary to confirm that the issues have been resolved. Adhering to sähkötarkastukset regulations is crucial for property owners and residents to maintain a safe electrical environment.
