Registering for joint testing

Before registering for joint testing, please become familiar with the joint testing process and the parties and responsibilities.

When registering for joint testing, the information system vendor must submit the registration form, THL’s system form (5/2021: attachment 4, thl.fi, in Finnish only) ​​​​​​and, if necessary, the logical architecture description at least two months before the start of the planned joint testing to yhteistestaus@kanta.fi.

If a suitable registration form is missing (e.g. joint testing of new service requests), please contact Kela’s joint testing (yhteistestaus@kanta.fi). 

In addition to joint testing according to the publication schedule (in Finnish only), Kela organises joint testing aiming for the first certification for the systems that have not yet taken part in joint testing. Find out about the joint testing process for a new system to be certified.

Workspace for joint testing

The workspace for joint testing of the Kanta Services is called the Partners site. Logging in to the site requires a user ID, which every person taking part in joint testing must have.

The workspace for joint testing has been divided into the entities of the Archive of imaging data, Patient Data Repository, Prescription and the client data archive for social welfare services. Logging in to the workspace takes place through the following links:

• Archive of imaging data (kumppanit.kela.fi, in Finnish only)
• Patient Data Repository (kumppanit.kela.fi, in Finnish only)
• Prescription (kumppanit.kela.fi, in Finnish only)
• Client data archive for social welfare services (kumppanit.kela.fi, in Finnish only)

Links to the Kumppanit workspaces will direct users to the workspace login page where they will be prompted for their email address and password. After a successful login, users are redirected to the workspace. Users of the Kumppanit workspace receive a new password by email once every four months.
