<p>This article examines the content of the type of operational experiment defined in Article 15(3) of the Operational Activities Law (OAL) (hereinafter referred to in the article about operational experiments in the meaning of Article 15(3) of the OAL as operational experiment). The aim of the study is to analyse the performance of an operational experiment, define basic elements that form the structure of the measure and study the performance (element) qualities of the measure which must exist in order for it to be performed successfully. To achieve the aim, research methods – analysis, modelling and deduction – were used. The study concluded that the operational experiment consists of three basic elements: the subject of the operational activity (hereinafter referred to as “the institution”), the person against whom the measure is performed (hereinafter referred to as “the subject”) and communication. If one of these is absent, the measure does not exist as such. The central subject of the study is the communication that takes place between the operator of the measure chosen by the institution and the subject during the operational experiment. To enable communication, a number of preconditions must be met when performing the operational experiment, which are clarified, investigated and defined in the conclusion of the paper.</p>
