Before registering for joint testing, please review the joint testing process as well as the parties and responsibilities.
When registering for joint testing, the information system provider must submit the registration form, the THL system form (Regulation 5/2024: Appendix 4, thl.fi, in Finnish), and, upon request, a logical architecture description to yhteistestaus@kanta.fi. Kela will review the preliminary test cases as soon as possible after they are reported, within 1-2 months at the latest, depending on whether the data content to be tested involves new content or a completely new information system.
If a suitable registration form is not available, please contact joint testing (yhteistestaus@kanta.fi).
In addition to joint testing according to the publication schedule, Kela also organises joint testing that aims to certify systems that have not yet taken part in joint testing for the first time. More information: Certification of a new system.

Joint testing of the Kanta PHR application
Joint testing in Kanta PHR refers to the verification of internal testing of the application and ensuring that it functions against the Kanta Services’ client test environment. Further information on joint testing in Kanta PHR is available on the page Linking an application with Kanta PHR.
The client joins the Kanta PHR client test environment at the same time as it registers for joint testing and no separate application form is required in addition to the application to join.
Joint testing of the Wellbeing applications’ patient data interface service
The joint testing of the Wellbeing applications’ patient data interface service means verifying that the interface service functions against the Kanta Services’ client test environment. Request Test IDs for independent testing from kanta@kanta.fi.
