What it is
Elsäkerhetsverket (the Swedish Electrical Safety Authority) is Sweden’s authority for electrical safety. It carries out market surveillance of electrical products, sets and enforces electrical safety requirements, and can act against non-compliant electrical goods.
Why it matters for compliance
In Sweden, electrical product safety is handled by Elsäkerhetsverket rather than the general consumer agency — so for any product that plugs in, charges or runs on electricity, this is the relevant market-surveillance authority. It is where electrical-product documentation may be checked and where corrective action on unsafe electrical goods originates.
How to use it
- For electrical products, treat Elsäkerhetsverket as the Swedish surveillance authority.
- Keep your technical file and DoC (covering the Low Voltage, EMC and any RED requirements) ready.
- Use its guidance for Swedish electrical-safety expectations.
Good to know
Sweden’s split of competences means an electrical consumer product may touch several authorities — electrical (Elsäkerhetsverket), chemical (KemI) and general safety (Konsumentverket).
