Rospotrebnadzor checks

When conducting inspections, Rospotrebnadzor pays special attention to facilities that are associated with food, medicine, and the provision of services, and children's organizations are also inspected with particular care. Inspections are divided into two types: scheduled and unscheduled, which are also field and documentary.

Planned

They are carried out according to a pre-formed plan, which is approved by the prosecutor's office at the end of the year. The list of checks is posted on the website of the prosecutor's office and on the website of Rospotrebnadzor in your region. The plan describes in detail information about the inspection: who is being inspected, by which supervisory authority, what are the terms of the inspection, what specifically awaits you. At least three days in advance, you will be notified of the upcoming scheduled inspection. Moreover, the notice is handed personally to the inspector or sent by registered mail. This type of review is expected every three years.

unscheduled

An unscheduled inspection is carried out under one of three circumstances:

The period of the previous check has expired, and each of your violations can be checked on different days.
Written statement of dissatisfied consumers. It is important that anonymous or unsubstantiated statements are not considered by the reviewers. Applications can be submitted on the official website, by letter, e-mail, through the public services portal.
Violations become too obvious.

visiting

They are held directly on the territory where you are engaged in your activities. The inspector comes to you at the address specified in the license and conducts a complete check of the documentation (check the list in your department), inspects all premises, equipment, as well as the adjacent territory assigned to the address. Samples (air, water) are taken for laboratory research, lighting, temperature are measured, other studies are possible, it all depends on the specifics of the organization or enterprise.

Documentary

During such checks, you yourself take all the necessary documents to the representatives of Rospotrebnadzor. Inspectors carefully study not only documents, but also your products, if you produce anything. Such an inspection, if significant violations are detected, can develop into an on-site inspection.

Verification Control Measures

Be sure to before the start of the inspection, you are presented with a certificate of an employee of Rospotrebnadzor along with an order, where there is a signature of the head of the district division of Rospotrebnadzor. In the submitted document, pay attention to the following points: the period of the inspection, the addresses of the objects of inspection, the data of representatives of the supervisory service.

The inspection period cannot exceed 20 days (without a written order from the heads of Rospotrebnadzor, which is issued only in some cases). You must be notified in writing about the extension of the verification period, again in advance.

For micro-enterprises, no more than fifteen hours are allocated for verification, and small enterprises were recently extended to 50 hours. These terms are formed mathematically - the time in hours that the inspection body needs to check one legal entity is added up, only working hours on weekdays are taken into account.

What is checked

The following documentation is checked first:

License.
Documents on the right of ownership or lease of premises.
The company's charter.
Contracts for waste disposal, disinfection.
Records of sanitary checks.
Employment agreements (contracts).
Labor books of employees.
Medical books.
Qualifications of employees (certificates of education, specializations).
Maintaining a journal provided for by Federal Law No. 134-FZ.
Excises on products and certificates.
Cash registers.

During the inspection, Rospotrebnadzor usually takes product samples and makes "control" purchases. When visually inspecting premises and territories, the inspector compares the reality and the documents you submitted, as well as compliance with SanPiN standards (carefully follow the annual update). Requirements vary by region, so it is best to consult with your Rospotrebnadzor office in advance. You can find out the address of your territorial division on the official website of the federal service.

And usually, if you show interest in cooperation in advance, come for a consultation long before the check, then you are treated very favorably during the check itself!

End of check

After checking, the inspector draws up a conclusion on the results. If violations are found, an order is issued, which indicates the violations and the terms for correction. If you do not have time to comply with the order on time, then an administrative protocol is drawn up for you on the commission of an offense in accordance with, is considered in court.

Usually, Rospotrebnadzor imposes a fine for an administrative offense: on average, for an individual - 20,000 rubles, for a legal entity - 2,000,000 rubles. You can ask the court for a grace period to pay the fine.

Check what is not prescribed.
Extend the check time.

Eventually

Although there are a large number of strict regulations and restrictions, there is good news - since 2008, Rospotrebnadzor has been pursuing a policy to reduce administrative difficulties and barriers for small and medium-sized businesses. The list of state-registered products has been significantly reduced from thirty types to just seven. The term for consideration of documents of entrepreneurs became 3 times shorter.

For 2016, all planned inspections of small businesses were canceled, and the main department will continue to reduce the number of inspections. Despite the pleasant trends outlined in recent years, we must not forget about compliance with all the norms and regulations that contain
