Battery safety, fire protection and new standards

Brandskyddsföreningen presents two topical subjects that address both today’s and tomorrow’s electrical safety challenges.

Part 1: Battery safety in focus – challenges and measures

Tobias Thrysén, fire safety expert at Brandskyddsföreningen Sverige, discusses the growing fire risks and property damage linked to lithium-ion batteries. He shares research-based tips and advice, and highlights the issue of unclear public information about battery safety.

Part 2: New standard – SBF 2026 authorised electrical inspector

Joakim Jonsson, electrical expert at Brandskyddsföreningen Sverige, provides an introduction to the new standard and the related training and certification for those working as electricians, electrical installers or electrical consultants. The aim is to raise the quality of ongoing inspections of electrical installations — a legal requirement that already affects around 800,000 electrical installation owners in Sweden today.
