What it is
DSB (Direktoratet for samfunnssikkerhet og beredskap, the Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection) is a Norwegian authority whose remit includes product safety and electrical safety, alongside its wider civil-protection role. It carries out market surveillance of products on the Norwegian market.
Why it matters for compliance
Norway is in the EEA, so EU product rules apply. For products sold in Norway — particularly electrical goods — DSB is a market-surveillance authority that can check products, request documentation and act on unsafe goods. Chemical and environmental matters in Norway sit with Miljødirektoratet.
How to use it
- Keep your technical file and DoC ready for a documentation request.
- Treat DSB as the Norwegian authority for product and electrical safety.
- Pair it with Miljødirektoratet for chemicals and environment.
Good to know
As an EEA state, Norway applies EU product legislation — CE marking and harmonised standards apply much as within the EU.
