Chapter 8. Personnel security
Section 8-1.Requirement for security clearance, access clearance and
authorisation
Persons who are to have access to classified information shall be authorised in accordance
with section 8-9. The same applies to persons who are to have access to critical national
objects and infrastructure in respect of which a decision has been made pursuant to
section 8-3.
Persons who are to be authorised for access to information with a classification of
CONFIDENTIAL or above must hold a valid security clearance. Persons who are to be
authorised for access to critical national objects and infrastructure in respect of which a
decision has been made pursuant to section 8-3 must hold valid access clearance.
The King may issue regulations on the processing of clearance cases and the validity
period of clearances.
Section 8-2.Security clearance
Persons shall require security clearance if they are to have access to information with a
classification of CONFIDENTIAL or above pursuant to section 5-3.
The same applies to persons who may gain access to such information through their work.
However, security clearance shall not be undertaken if the risk that such persons may gain
access to such information can be eliminated through other, simpler security measures.
The King may issue regulations on the relationship between national security
classification levels and the security classification levels used by NATO, other countries or
international organisations.
Section 8-3.Access clearance
Within its area of responsibility, a ministry may decide that access clearance is required
for access to all or parts of critical national objects or infrastructure. The National
Security Authority may make such decisions with respect to undertakings which do not
fall within the area of responsibility of any ministry.
No decision requiring access clearance shall be made if other suitable security measures
can be implemented.
