4 Procedure for exhibitions outside Sweden
In other countries there are often different types of threats than in Sweden, and other protection methods are applied where Swedish solutions cannot always be implemented or provide the desired effect. The main difference in the protection philosophy, with regard to what is customary in Sweden, is that the mechanical protection of the exhibition premises is often replaced by human resources. In other respects, equivalent requirements must apply, as in Sweden, in accordance with paragraph 5–9.
Note that security requirements apply throughout the entire process: transportation – storage – exhibition. An absolute minimum requirement is that someone is appointed as being responsible for the security of the exhibition in question.
The first step in processing the application for a National Indemnity outside Sweden is that Kammarkollegiet’s inspector submits an application with a Facility Report regarding the exhibition premises in question. A decision is then made regarding whether the application can continue to be processed, which may include gathering additionalinformation or conducting an on-site inspection. The opportunities to have recourse to Swedish representation abroad to gather information/perform an inspection must be taken advantage of.
