The Swiss laws are purposely not very detailed in order to allow companies in the industry sectors concerned to find the most efficient solutions. The VSE defines rules for energy supply (in part under the inclusion of other associations). The industry sector documents are available in German and French. The documents listed on this page have also been published in English.
Type tests, expertises and certifications of equipment are performed by Eurofins and are not part of these industry sector documents.
