HOME - How to join EACAT – EACAT

EACAT is the platform that gives access to the rest of the AOC's services (Provided that the organization is capable of having these other services). Therefore, if you need to register for any of the AOC's services, it is necessary that, first of all, the organization adheres to EACAT.

Below we give you instructions for joining EACAT depending on the type of entity:

If we are a private company

Private companies are not eligible to join EACAT. It should be borne in mind that EACAT is the platform through which the public administrations and/or organizations with public participation in Catalonia relate to each other.

If the company needs to carry out procedures with a public administration, all you have to do is go to its website or electronic office and choose the type of procedure you want to carry out. If it is of interest to you, we provide you with information on how to invoice the Administration and how to consult electronic notifications from the Administration . For more information on the entities capable of accessing EACAT, consult the last section of this faq called "Additional information on the subjective scope of service provision EACAT".

If I am a private individual

Natural persons are not eligible to join EACAT. It should be borne in mind that EACAT is the platform through which the public administrations and/or organizations with public participation in Catalonia relate to each other.

If you need to carry out procedures with a public administration, all you have to do is access their website or electronic office and select the type of procedure you want to carry out. If the process to be carried out is the sending of an electronic invoice or the consultation of a notification, you will surely be interested in these contents on how to invoice the administration and how to consult electronic notifications from the administration . For more information on the entities capable of accessing EACAT, consult the last section of this faq called "Additional information on the subjective scope of service provision EACAT".

If we are a body of the Siscat Network

Important: If you want to request a CDA for the operation of the applications of the SISCAT Network, shared clinical history, electronic prescription, etc. you just need to send the certificate request and the registration form as a digital certificate subscriber through the generic instance of the AOC Consortium or send it to the email address scd@aoc.cat in order to to be managed. Membership in EACAT is not required.

On the other hand, if you need services to relate electronically with CatSalut i
with the bodies of the public administrations in the development of public powers, you must fill in the membership form , selecting the option "Other bodies" and then briefly explain this fact. Keep in mind that the maximum deadline for solving the EACAT accession file is 3 months from the date the application was registered electronically in the AOC Consortium register.

If we are a public school or high school

In the case of high schools and public schools, you need to contact the Department of Education to be able to use EACAT.

If we are a company, association or private foundation

The society, association or foundation that does not have majority public participation* is not liable to join the Extranet of the Catalan Public Administrations, because it is not part of the subjective scope of service provision EACAT. For more information on the entities capable of accessing EACAT, see the section Additional information on the subjective scope of service provision EACAT.

* Majority means that the public participation (by a local entity, a Generalitat entity, etc.) must be at least 51%

If we are a society, association or foundation with public participation

Important: If the public participation of the foundation, association or society is not as mentioned below, it is considered that the entity is not liable to adhere to EACAT. For more information consult the section Additional information on the subjective scope of service provision EACAT.

In the case of associations, societies or foundations with public participation, on the membership form you must mark the option "We are members of the public sector of Catalonia in the terms of article 2.1 of Law 29/2010, of 3 of August, on the use of electronic media in the public sector of Catalonia" only if:

You are a foundation with, at least, 51% participation by bodies of the Administration of the Generalitat, local bodies, and also the public entities linked or dependent on them (considering the composition of its board of trustees, voting rights or how their assets are integrated in application of article 174.1 LAW 5/2017, of March 28, on fiscal, administrative, financial and public sector measures ).

Keep in mind that it does not count the participation of universities in the board of trustees of the foundations for the purpose of considering them as the public sector of Catalonia since they are not included in 2.1.a) of Law 29/2010, of 3 August.

For example, a foundation owned 35% by the Generalitat and 16% by a local entity is considered a public sector. On the other hand, a foundation with 30% capital from the Generalitat, 5% from a local body and 16% from a university would not be a public sector foundation, since the latter does not count for the calculation.

If you are an association or society , you must be 100% participated by the entities mentioned in 2.1 a) of Law 29/2010, of August 3: Generalitat and local entities, and also related public entities or that depend on it

The registration procedure in the Register of Local Entities can be carried out via EACAT the entity you depend on.
