Measurement methods and delivery times

The delivery times indicated for all measurement methods are indicative and not binding on STUK. The delivery time of the results depends on the number and urgency of STUK's regulatory supervision tasks at the time.

Since the service measurements are carried out alongside STUK's normal supervision measurements, STUK cannot guarantee that the results of the service measurement will be delivered to the customer within the indicative delivery time.
