Security background checks and register control

Security clearance consists of security checks and a criminal records check. Before you can be granted access to the facilities or to work on IT system of Ringhals, we require the following documents:

Each contractor performs security checks on its own staff. A criminal records check is then performed against police records. Ringhals applies for the criminal records check through Svenska Kraftnät.

For foreign citizens, send the certificates at least 12 weeks prior to arrival. The certificates and criminal records checks are valid for 1 year. They may need to be renewed for absences of longer than a year. Remember that if you change companies, a new certificate is needed.
