The text of the law (unofficial translation)
§ 6. Public safety requirements
What does this mean?
The section establishes that the tradesperson (håndverker) must follow public safety rules when carrying out the job (oppdrag). The requirements may be set out in an act or in a regulation (forskrift) based on an act. You can therefore demand that the job is done in a way that stays within these rules, regardless of what else has been said about how the work is to be carried out.
The rule is placed among the rules on the job itself, which also cover performance and materials (materialer) (§ 5), the duty to advise against (plikt til å frarå) (§ 7) and additional work (tilleggsarbeid) (§ 9).
- § 5Performance and materials: what the tradesperson must deliver
- § 7Duty to advise against: when the tradesperson must warn you
- § 9Additional work: when the tradesperson can do more than agreed
- The work breaches the Building Technical Regulations (byggteknisk forskrift) – is that a defect (mangel)?
- Am I entitled to a declaration of conformity (samsvarserklæring) after the electrician's job?
- How to check that the electrician is registered before you place an order
- The electrician disconnected the residual current device to make it work – is that legal?
