Activities with pathogens - Display changes

Teaser

If you carry out activities involving pathogens, you must notify the competent authority immediately of any changes that occur.

  • Service description

    You have already been granted a licence to work with pathogens and have notified the competent authority that you are taking up this activity for the first time. You must notify the competent authority immediately if you:

    • make significant changes such as the type and scope of the activity, the nature of the rooms and facilities or disposal measures,
    • stop working with pathogens, or
    • resume work with pathogens.

    Even if you are exempt from the authorisation requirement, you must report any changes to your activity.

    Persons who carry out microbiological tests for diagnostic purposes on their own patients are exempt from the authorisation requirement. These are, for example

    • Doctors,
    • Dentists and
    • Veterinarians.

    If you are working under the supervision of a person who

    • has a licence or
    • is exempt from the authorisation requirement,

    then you do not have to report the change of activity.

  • Procedure

    • The authority will check your documents and carry out an on-site inspection if necessary. It decides,
      • whether you may continue or resume the intended activity with pathogens, or
      • whether you are prohibited from working.
