sähkömääräyksissä

Sähkömääräyksissä is a Finnish term that translates to "electrical regulations" or "electrical orders." It refers to the set of rules and standards governing the installation, maintenance, and use of electrical systems and equipment within Finland. These regulations are crucial for ensuring the safety of individuals and property from electrical hazards.

The primary legislation and standards that constitute sähkömääräyksissä are established and updated by various authorities, most notably Tukes (Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency). These regulations cover a wide range of aspects, including low-voltage installations, high-voltage systems, electrical safety in specific environments like wet rooms or healthcare facilities, and the requirements for electrical products.

Key areas addressed by sähkömääräyksissä include proper wiring methods, grounding and earthing, protection against overcurrent and short circuits, insulation requirements, and the selection of appropriate electrical components. The regulations also specify the qualifications and responsibilities of electricians and other professionals involved in electrical work. Adherence to these rules is mandatory, and non-compliance can result in penalties, including fines or the prohibition of electrical work. The goal of sähkömääräyksissä is to create a safe and reliable electrical environment for everyone in Finland.
