The comments are a guide to the contents of the individual deepen provision. The comments are not binding in itself, but should serve as a guide. Regulations and guidance should be viewed in context to get the best possible understanding of the forskriftens regulations.

To section 1 Purpose scope Forskriftens are businesses where processes and objects come in close touch with many people. That's why risk that micro-organisms are transmitted between people and cause disease. The regulation is intended to prevent this, so that customers can feel confident that the infection is not transferable. To prevent the transmission of infectious diseases, that is, to ensure hygiene routines to ensure that the risk of infection is reduced to a minimum. "Hygiene" include the cleaning of premises and objects, ventilation and routines for processing.

New needs and would like to volunteer with the public and the new technology is applied in the growing extent, which can create new opportunities for disease transmission. Health authorities have to familiarize themselves with this and be ready to deal with new situations. The basis of authority to intervene will in any event be released through the infection Protection Act, municipal health service act and this regulation.

To § 2 scope "Penetration of the skin" is of the skin punctures. The destroy of the skin occurs, among other things by scorch markings and arring. Other techniques will also be covered. Crucial is whether they involve punctures or profound damage of the skin. Acupuncture involves penetration of the skin, but acupuncture is part of the medical treatment is expressly excluded from the regulation.
Medical business covered by other legislation and therefore are not regulated in this regulation.
Amputation of the outer finger joints, called a stumping, is prohibited by health professional legislation and are therefore not of this regulation.

To section 3 Definitions Barber business: also includes dyeing of eyelashes and eyebrows.
Skin care: includes, for example, hand care (manicure), pedicure (pedicure) and all sorts of methods of hair removal, such as waxing and electrolysis. Massage in this sense for example, forskriftens includes aromatherapy and reflexology, but does not include massage as part of medical treatment.

It is only by regulated hygiene solariums in the regulations, and not the quality of treatment, such as the strength of the light pipes. Radiation protection legislation, including the rules on the strength of the light pipe is under revision and will regulate the issue of oversight of this.

To § 4 liability. Internal control system the business will be operated on a hygienic. This is the entire forskriftens starting point. The more detailed provisions in the regulations by the way is a clarification of this requirement.

It is also an advantage that the owner or driver business, must work through their procedures thoroughly to create documentation.
"Hygienic satisfying" is a relative term; There are more stringent requirements where the infection risk is great than where it is comparatively less. For example, the more stringent requirements of businesses where the skin penetrated regularly, as at the tattoo, than how this only happens every so often, as at the Barber business. It will also be set more stringent requirements where the number of customers or employees is high. The requirements of the internal control system be adapted in other words the individual business's size and nature, so that it not be set the same size requirements for internal control system for small businesses that for larger businesses. It will for example be set lower requirements for a Hairdresser who runs alone with a limited number of customers than to a community of tatoverere with many customers.
An internal control system, for example, contain a description of the procedures for gulvvask; How often and how should it be cleaned-with tørrmopp or with ordinary SOAP and broom? How should the disinfection of equipment take place? Which disinfectant should be applied, how will the equipment be kept after the decontamination process?
