Submit a notification via the ilppa notification e-service of the Finnish Food Authority.
You can submit the notification also in writing to the health protection control authority of the municipality in which you are located.
Include the following details in the notification:
- your contact details
- an account on the location of the place of your operations
- a ground plan and a furnishing plan of the business premises
- an account of the practised operations
- other information required for preventing health hazards.
Particular attention will be paid to ventilation and disinfection of instruments as well as the furniture, equipment and surface materials required for the operations, when processing the notification. If needed, turn to the municipal health protection authority for advise on what should in particular be taken into account in the operation and premises from the perspective of health protection.
The municipal health protection authority inspects the written notification and sends you a letter of receipt. The authority will also inspect your operations if needed.
Before commencing operations, submit a notification primarily through the ilppa online service (see e-services). Attach at least a floor plan, information on the use of the premises from the building control authority and ventilation measurement details (can be submitted afterwards) to the notification.
If you are unable to submit a notification through the ilppa online service, contact the Rovakaari environmental health care.
Case process:
1 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.
2 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. If you are unable to submit a notification through the ilppa online service, contact 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.
