Applications related to the responsibility marks are submitted in the e-service (not available in English). You can identify yourself in the e-service using e.g. your online banking codes, after which you can safely fill in and submit the form. If you are unable to use the e-service (for example, if your company is registered abroad), contact Tukes: [email protected]. 

If the company’s Articles of Associations or partnership agreement was concluded before 1988, there may be problems in the use of e-services. In this case, contact the Finnish Patent and Registration Office, which will convert the Articles of Association or partnership agreement to an electronic format.
