How to use the templates

1. Give each asphalt surface, paving or walkway its own Surface ID, and link an actual map or photo reference.
2. Determine local routines for visual inspection, risk reporting and contact channels for obstacles, ice, or fall risks.
3. Note visible holes, cracks, loose stones, raised edges and water accumulation without guessing the construction cause.
4. Create a separate Damage ID for deviations and document who has been informed.
5. Order professional assessment and ground action when needed; follow up with work orders, invoices, photos and actual post-inspection.

Legal and technical scope – Sweden 2026

Planning and Building Act (2010:900), Chapter 8, Section 15: premises shall be kept in a well-maintained condition and cared for so that the risk of accidents is limited and significant inconveniences to the surroundings and traffic do not occur. According to Chapter 8, Section 16, the rules may also apply to a reasonable extent to public places and areas for certain other facilities. Boverket's BFS 2024:13 and associated guidance cover, among other things, fixed, level and accessible walkways in applicable new and modified building situations. What requirements apply to a specific existing surface must be assessed separately.

The templates are administrative observation and follow-up tools. They do not replace professional inspection, technical measurement of friction, load-bearing capacity or slope, workplace planning, accessibility statement or traffic organization plan. They do not specify any universal statutory round interval, height limit or approval of a ground surface. Do not enter unsafe or closed areas to document. In case of risk, contact the responsible party and seek professional help when needed. No claim is made regarding external legal or ground engineer review.
