• make significant changes (type and scope of the activity, nature of the premises and facilities, disposal measures),
• stop the activity with pathogens, or
• resume activity with pathogens.

Even if you are exempt from the permit requirement, you must notify any changes in your activity.

Persons who carry out microbiological examinations for diagnostics of their own patients are exempt from the authorisation requirement. These are, for example, doctors, dentists and veterinarians.

Are you working under the supervision of a person who has a permit or is exempt from the permit requirement? In this case, you do not need to report the change in activity.
