  Step 3. Processing of the application.

  The issuing authority (specialist) opens the case, examines the application and accompanying documents, and verifies compliance with the conditions. If there is a lack of documents/information required explicitly by legislation, the issuing authority (specialist) will suspend the examination period of the application and promptly inform the applicant about this, specifying and describing the grounds for the suspension, the timeframe, and the actions needed to remedy the situation to proceed with the examination of the application.

  Step 4. Verification procedure

  Within 5 working days from the date of submission of the application, based on the risk assessment, an on-site visit is conducted, and if necessary, laboratory investigations are ordered and a report of the examination of the facility is drawn up. This report indicates compliance or non-compliance with the sanitary-hygienic criteria established for the sanitary operating permit of the facility, and, if necessary, remedial measures are prescribed.

  Step 7. Electronic notification and reception of the permissive document

  When the permissive document (letter) is ready, the applicant (legal representative) receives an electronic notification, downloads the permissive document from SIA GEAP, and confirms receipt of the document. If the permissive document is issued on paper (upon request or according to the requirements of the requesting institution), the specialist prints the permissive document, delivers it through a single window to the applicant (or their legal representative), and confirms receipt.
