Joining the Kanta client test service

You can join the client test service by completing an application form.

For more detailed information on test environments and their purposes, please see the Test Environments page.

Requirements for joining the client test service

The client test service is joined via the test environment. To join the client test service, you must have access to an information system that complies with the key use cases and requirements for the specific Kanta service.

The client test organisations (social and health care organisations and pharmacies) of information system suppliers have a limited opportunity to join the client testing service. If a client organisation participates in joint testing, it applies to join the client testing environment for its own testing environment.

If a client organisation wishes to carry out independent testing in the client test service, an application to join is submitted for the production image environment.

Complete the application to join the client test service

The information requested on the application to join the client test service includes:

  • details of the organisation applying to join
  • details of the technical and administrative contact person for communication
  • technical data required to open the connections
  • whether the application is to join the client test environment, the production image environment, or both
  • whether the application is to join the MyKanta test service.

Submit the completed application to Kela at Kanta@kanta.fi.

Order the test certificate cards and service certificates (server and system certificates) needed to use the client test service from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency (dvv.fi).

Test MyKanta

The test service for MyKanta is available in the client test environment and the production image environment. The test service for MyKanta is part of the client and joint testing of the Kanta Services, and the information necessary for its use is provided on an application to join the client test service.

The Kanta PHR client test environment

Joining the Kanta PHR client test environment and registering for joint testing can be done simultaneously using the application to join. Prior to this, application developers carry out independent testing in a sandbox environment. Further information on the sandbox environment.
