You cannot complain about decisions taken by the Danish Safety

Technology Authority on authorisation as an electrical contractor to
another administrative authority. A rejected personal authorisation may,
however, be brought before the Danish Company Appeals Board in
certain cases: This is possible if authorisation was rejected on the basis of
the applicant having demonstrated, while in another post or profession,
behaviour providing grounds for the assumption that the authorised
enterprise will not be operated responsibly.

The deadline for submitting an appeal is 4 weeks from date on which the
decision was announced. The appeal should be submitted in writing to
the Danish Company Appeals Board. Find contact details below:
