Mandate agreement
Version dated 01.10.2026
This Mandate Agreement is entered into between Piol Sàrl, Route de Bercher 7, 1045 Ogens, UID CHE-353.037.687, operator of the oibtpro.ch platform (the “Platform”), and the independent inspection body that registers on it (the “Inspection Body”). It takes effect when the Inspection Body accepts it on registration.
1. Subject matter
The Platform entrusts the Inspection Body with assignments to inspect electrical installations within the meaning of the Low-Voltage Installation Ordinance (OIBT/NIV), which are ordered and paid for in advance by clients and scheduled within the availability published by the Inspection Body. The Inspection Body remains free to practise outside the Platform; the Platform does not guarantee any volume of assignments.
2. Conditions
The Inspection Body holds a valid inspection authorisation issued by the Federal Inspectorate for Heavy Current Installations (ESTI), works with qualified safety advisers and calibrated measuring instruments, and has professional liability insurance covering its inspection activities. It must inform the Platform without delay of any change to, or withdrawal of, its authorisation.
3. Independence
The Inspection Body must not inspect any installation that it has planned, installed, modified or repaired, or any installation in respect of which it has a conflict of interest. It must notify the Platform of any such case before the appointment, and the Platform will reallocate the assignment.
4. Performance and documents
The Inspection Body performs each inspection under its sole professional responsibility, in accordance with the OIBT and the recognised technical rules. It draws up the measurement and test report, the defect report and the safety certificate (SiNa) on the Platform, uploads them to the file within five working days of the inspection, verifies the corrections reported and submits the safety certificate to the distribution system operator (DSO). It must report any defect that presents a hazard immediately.
5. Availability and inability to attend
The Inspection Body keeps its availability up to date. Confirmed appointments must be honoured; any inability to attend must be notified at least 48 hours in advance, save in cases of force majeure, so that the Platform can reallocate the assignment.
6. Remuneration
The Inspection Body's share is a percentage of the client price excluding VAT, calculated before route discounts and promotional codes, which are borne by the Platform. The base rate is 83.3%; it varies between 78% and 90% depending on quality (client ratings), responsiveness (documents uploaded within five working days), published availability and local demand. Details can be viewed in the Inspection Body's area of the Platform. In all cases, the Platform retains a minimum margin of CHF 30 or 8% of the price collected excluding VAT.
The share is released once the inspection documents (safety certificate and measurement and test report, or defect report) have been uploaded to the Platform for a file that has been paid for. It is paid monthly into the account designated by the Inspection Body, on the basis of the settlement statement prepared by the Platform, plus VAT if the Inspection Body is subject to VAT. No share is due for an appointment cancelled before the inspection.
7. Data protection and confidentiality
The Inspection Body uses client data exclusively to perform the assignments and to meet its legal obligations, in accordance with the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). It protects the data by means of appropriate measures, does not disclose it to any unauthorised third party and notifies the Platform without delay of any breach of data security. It must not solicit the Platform's clients for any purpose other than the assignment entrusted to it.
8. Quality
Clients rate the Inspection Body. Persistently poor ratings, repeated late submission of documents or a serious breach (safety, data, invoicing) may lead to the allocation of assignments being suspended.
9. Term and termination
This Mandate Agreement is concluded for an indefinite period. Either party may terminate it by giving one month's notice; confirmed assignments remain due. It may be terminated with immediate effect for good cause, in particular if the inspection authorisation is withdrawn or in the event of a serious breach. The Platform may amend this Mandate Agreement by giving 30 days' notice; if the Inspection Body does not accept the amendment, it may terminate the Agreement with effect from the date on which the amendment enters into force.
10. Governing law and place of jurisdiction
This Mandate Agreement is governed by Swiss law. The place of jurisdiction is the place where Piol Sàrl has its registered office.
