Swedish term or phrase: KA-inventering
This is linked with the previous question I just closed (miljöinventering). It appears as KA- och miljöinventering which allows you to be a member of SBR.
Can anyone tell me what KA stands for, please? I'm a bit short on time too.
Advice would be appreciated.

Quality Surveyor
Explanation:
KA PBL is an abbreviation used within the Swedish construction industry, it stands for Kvalitetsansvarig enligt Plan- och Bygglagen.
I think the equivalent in both UK and US English is Quality Surveyor. The KA-inventering means that a survey of a building or building site is done according to very specific standards, for which the KA is professionally accountable.
