The text of the law (unofficial translation)
§ 34. Preliminary inspection etc.
What does this mean?
The section applies to inspections before you place an order. If the tradesperson (håndverker) is to carry out a preparatory inspection to clarify whether a service is to be ordered, you only pay if you were told in advance that it would cost money or a reservation was made. Without such advance notice, the inspection is not something you have to pay for. In other words, it is the tradesperson's responsibility to tell you in advance if he wants to be paid for such work. The rule is found in Chapter VI on the consumer's payment and cooperation (medvirkning), between § 33 on price supplements (pristillegg) and § 35 on payment in the event of accidents.
