All Hygiene Passport tests are taken in a test venue supervised by a Hygiene Passport Examiner. All candidates take the test independently. The answers are given in writing on the Finnish Food Authority’s test form in Finnish, Swedish or English.
All Hygiene Passport Examiners can arrange normal Hygiene Passport tests and also so-called special situation tests. In individual cases, a Hygiene Passport Examiner may organize the test in some other way (test for special situations) instead of a normal Hygiene Passport test. For example, a special situation test can be arranged using a dictionary, braille or sign language, or the Examiner may read the test statements out. The Examiner may also have the statements translated into a language other than Finnish, Swedish or English.
Training before the test is not mandatory.
Hygiene Passport tests cannot be taken electronically, remotely, in premises covered by domestic peace or abroad.
