Electrosuisse
Electrosuisse, Association for Electrical, Energy and Information Technology is a Swiss professional association in the field of electrical , energy and information technology .
history
On April 24, 1889, the Swiss pioneers of heavy current technology formed the Swiss Electrotechnical Association (SEV), on the one hand to compete with the competition in the energy sector and, on the other hand, to standardize the standards. From 1895 the SEV was supported in its efforts by the Association of Swiss Electricity Companies (VSE). In 1897, the SEV created the Federal Heavy Current Inspectorate , which took over the control of safety standards in the electrical industry.
In 2002 the name of the association was changed to the current name. Electrosuisse has been running the Federal Heavy Current Inspectorate (ESTI) on behalf of the federal government since the beginning of the 20th century.
The seat is in Fehraltorf ZH.
