Information about service

At the start of operations, notify the food control authority of your operating location in the ilppa notification service or by using a form.

Once you have submitted the notification, you will be notified once it is received and entered in the register. The food control authority will regularly inspect the operations of your company in accordance with its supervisory plan.

You should also report if the operator changes or the operations change or end in the ilppa notification service. You can also use a form to notify the local authority of the changes. In this case, use the same form for the change notification as for the notification in the beginning of operations.

Notify of a business location and operations in the area of Rovaniemi, Ranua, Pello, Ylitornio and Kolari to the Rovaniemi environmental health care before commencing operations using the ilppa online service (see e-services).

If you cannot submit a notification in the ilppa online service, contact environmental health care.

Case process:

The notification arrives at environmental health care, where a supervisor reads it. The supervisor checks that the information is sufficient to register the item and asks you for more information if necessary.

The activities you report are registered and the supervisory unit sends a certificate of processing the notification which is subject to a fee. If you submitted the notification in ilppa, you will see the details of the location your notification concerns and any changes made to it after it is processed. You will also see details of the activities you have previously reported.

You should also primarily use the ilppa online service to submit a notification if the activities change essentially or end. You can also submit the notification by email or by post to the Rovakaari environmental health care. No fee is charged for processing notifications of interruption or cessation of activities, nor will you receive a separate certificate for their processing.

The obligation to notify applies to all operators placing food contact materials on the market in Finland. These operators include

  • manufacturers of materials and articles used in manufacturing contact materials
  • manufacturers of actual contact materials
  • operators engaged in the wholesale trade of contact materials
  • operators importing contact materials from the EU internal market area or from non-EU countries and operators engaged in corresponding export activities.

The obligation to notify applies to all operators in the field, irrespective of the contact material or article in question.

In case the operator changes, or the operations change or are terminated, the operator must make a notification of it without delay.

If the operator is established in another EEA state and provides services in Finland on a temporary basis, they are required to have the same notification as the operators established in Finland.

A fee will be charged for the notification in accordance with the confirmed charge rates of the supervisory unit. Surveillance in accordance with the surveillance plan is also subject to a fee.
