Purpose
As an independent accredited inspection body, RISE participates in the Swedish National Cluster Sampling of Electricity Meters. We inspect electricity meters of category 1 in accordance with the national accreditation body Swedac's regulation STAFS 2022:9.

Method
An electricity meter measures the electrical energy delivered to households by electricity suppliers via grids owned by electricity grid companies. The electricity meters are owned and operated by the electricity grid companies and, according to Swedac's regulations, they may be tested on a random basis by accredited inspection bodies. Through this, the industry ensures that the electricity meter's error stays within the desired limits. The inspection takes place by adding voltages and currents that correspond to different power levels and comparing the measured energy with added energy.
We perform our services in accordance with the ISO 17020 quality standard and are monitored by Swedac.
Deliveries
We issue accredited control reports and can assist with the reporting of results to the national cluster sampling.
