Toxicology Civil Service Examinations 2026: admitted candidates, dates and steps

Key data

The selection process to fill positions in the Special Civil Service of Professionals of the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences takes a decisive step. Order PJC/389/2026, of April 16, approves the provisional list of admitted and excluded candidates, establishes the Evaluation Board and sets the date of the examinations. The process was originally called by the Order PJC/1534/2025, of December 17, 2025.

For any candidate, this is the time to act: review the list, confirm admission or initiate the claims process if you appear as excluded.

What does this regulation establish?

Order PJC/389/2026 regulates three specific aspects of the selection process:

The process includes two access routes: the general open access system, open to external candidates, and internal promotion, reserved for civil servants already belonging to the service. Both modalities are affected by this order.

Operational impact and critical deadlines

This order does not generate direct costs for companies, but it does require candidates to act quickly. Deadlines in selection processes are non-extendable: once the claims period closes, the provisional list becomes final and excluded candidates lose all possibility of participating.

The most relevant operational aspects are:

• Immediate review of the list: Each candidate must locate their name or ID number in the provisional list published in the BOE.
• Identification of the reason for exclusion: If you appear as excluded, the list indicates the specific reason. It is essential to read it before preparing your claim.
• Filing a claim within the deadline: The remedy must be submitted within the established deadline. There is no extension.
• Planning your preparation: With the examination date already published, admitted candidates can adjust their study schedule.

Who does it affect?

• Open access candidates: External candidates who submitted an application to join the Special Civil Service of Professionals of the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences.
• Civil servants in internal promotion: Public employees already belonging to the service who opted for internal promotion in the December 2025 call.
• Excluded candidates: Those who appear in the list of excluded candidates and need to remedy their situation before the claims deadline closes.
• Exam preparation providers and academies: Centers that prepare candidates for this service and must communicate to their students the dates and status of the process.

Practical example

A candidate who submitted their application in January 2026 for open access checks the provisional list published in the BOE on April 28, 2026 and finds that they appear as excluded. The reason indicated in the list is the lack of documentation proving a required qualification.

Steps they should follow:

1. Locate the exact reason for exclusion in the official list (BOE-A-2026-9225).
2. Gather the documentation that proves the requirement not initially justified.
3. Submit a remedy letter to the calling body within the deadline established by Order PJC/389/2026.
4. Keep the submission receipt as proof of having acted within the deadline.

If they do not act within the deadline, the exclusion becomes final and they will not be able to participate in the examinations whose date has already been announced.

What should candidates do now?

1. Check the provisional list in the BOE: Access the Order PJC/389/2026 in the BOE and locate your name or identification number in the list of admitted or excluded candidates.
2. If you are admitted: Note the examination date announced in the order and adjust your preparation schedule.
3. If you are excluded: Read the reason for exclusion, gather the necessary documentation and file your claim or remedy within the established deadline. Do not wait until the last day.
4. Keep proof of any procedure: Keep a copy of all communications submitted to the calling body as proof of acting within the deadline.
5. Follow the process: After the claims period, the final list will be published. Stay alert to the BOE so you do not miss any communication from the Evaluation Board.
