Section 14-1. Fees for the processing of building applications pursuant to Section 18-9 of the Working Environment Act

The Labour Inspection Authority shall calculate and collect fees for the processing of applications for consent pursuant to Section 18-9, first paragraph, of the Working Environment Act. The fee shall not exceed the cost of providing the service. The Labour Inspection Authority may index-adjust the fees annually in accordance with the adjustments in the fiscal budget for wage and price increases. The fees are determined based on a division into five categories of buildings and the number of square metres.
  • Category 1: Public buildings and commercial buildings without fixed workstations; maximum fee NOK 4,480.
  • Category 2: Commercial buildings with fixed workstations without mechanical processes and pollution; maximum fee NOK 13,440.
  • Category 3: Commercial buildings with fixed workstations and with mechanical processes and risk of pollution; maximum fee NOK 26,875.
  • Category 4: Major building complexes, for example airport developments and shopping centres, that require considerably more work than what is stipulated in the individual categories; the fee is decided in each individual case.
  • Category 5: Individual cases that do not fall into any of the above-mentioned categories, for example ventilation cases and technical building installations; maximum fee NOK 1,295.
