brannloven

English translation: Fire and Explosion Prevention Act

07:19 May 23, 2019
Norwegian to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general)
Norwegian term or phrase: brannloven
I'm not finding any English translation for 'brannloven' - perhaps it's the 'Fire and Explosion Prevention Act' or something along those lines?

Anyone come across this before?

English translation:Fire and Explosion Prevention Act
Explanation:
That's what the Petroleum Safety Authority of Norway calls it.
The full name of the act is:
Lov om vern mot brann, eksplosjon og ulykker med farlig stoff og om brannvesenets redningsoppgaver (brann- og eksplosjonsvernloven)
Here's an alternative translation from UiO
Act relating to the prevention of fire, explosion and accidents involving hazardous substances and the fire service (The Fire and Explosives Act)]

brann (og eksplosjonsvern)loven
Fire Protection Act; Norwegian Fire and Explosion Prevention Act


Explanation:
Turn to the English version of the Act and there is the usual copout of an irrelevant article: 'Robust growth in the Norwegian economy'.

In English Common Law countries e.g. Canada & the Seycehelles, the tendency might be to call it the Fire Protection Act: Fire Protection Act Chapter number: 81 In force: Yes.

PS there is no need for the usual culprits to lift and reword my answer.



Example sentence(s):
  • Lov om vern mot brann, eksplosjon og ulykker med farlig stoff og om brannvesenets redningsoppgaver (brann- og eksplosjonsvernloven)
  • Regulations governing HSE in the Norwegian petroleum industry contain risk- and performance-based ... Fire and Explosion Prevention Act (in Norwegian only)
