How to get a PIRT license
To obtain a PIRT license, business owners must first apply to the one-stop integrated service unit (PTSP) in the city/district where the business is conducted.
The application is made by filling out a form and attaching other documents, such as a certificate or business license from the sub-district head, food label design, food safety counseling certificate, floor plan and photos of the production location.
PTSP will then conduct an examination of the applicant’s forms and documents.

If the results of the inspection of production facilities show that the IRTP is in level I – II, the health office will provide a recommendation for SPP-IRT.
The regent/mayor through the PTSP will then submit the SPP-IRT to the applicant who has met the requirements.
SPP-IRT is valid for 5 years since its issuance and can be extended through SPP-IRT application at least 6 months before the SPP-IRT validity period expires.
