You have already obtained a permit to work with pathogens and have notified the competent body of the first commencement of work. You must notify the competent body immediately if you
- make significant changes (type and scope of activity, condition of rooms and facilities, disposal measures),
- stop working with pathogens, or
- resume work with pathogens.
Even if you are exempt from the permit requirement, you must notify changes in your activity. Persons who carry out microbiological examinations for diagnostic purposes on their own patients are exempt from the obligation to obtain a permit. These are for example
- Doctors and medical practitioners
- Dentists
- Veterinary surgeons
Do you work under the supervision of a person who has a permit or is exempt from the permit requirement? In this case, you do not have to report the change of activity.
