The activities of the accident investigation board are based upon the Norwegian Air Navigation Act of 1923. In 1988, a regulation was published that established a permanent Board for the aviation sector, administered by the Ministry of Transport. The board became an autonomous agency on 1 July 1999.
The regulation concerning official investigation of rail accidents and serious rail incidents was published on 29 January 2002, based on the provisions of the Railways Act of 11 June 1998, and from 1 July 2002 the AIBN has investigated rail accidents and serious rail incidents.
The investigation has as its goal clarification of the sequence of events and causes, as well as discussing other significant conditions that could prevent rail accidents and serious rail incidents in order to improve railway safety.
The investigation does not apportion blame and liability.
