Your Guide to Obtaining a Fire Safety License in Thailand:
Expert Help from SiamConsult

If you’re planning to open a business in Thailand, whether it’s a restaurant, hotel, factory, or any commercial establishment, obtaining a Fire Safety License is crucial.

The Thai government requires all businesses to adhere to strict fire safety regulations to protect both property and lives. This guide will break down the steps for obtaining a Fire Safety License in Thailand, ensuring that your business is compliant and safe.
Let’s go through the process step-by-step so you can focus on building a successful and secure business in Thailand!

Step 1: Understanding the Fire Safety Regulations in Thailand

To legally operate a business in Thailand, you must comply with the fire safety standards set by the Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning and the local municipality.
These regulations cover everything from building construction standards to fire prevention equipment.

Here’s what you need to know:

    • Types of Businesses Requiring a Fire Safety License: Most businesses, including hotels, factories, office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, and any place where people gather, must have a Fire Safety License.

    • Fire Safety Compliance: Compliance with fire safety regulations includes proper building design, installation of fire prevention equipment (such as extinguishers, sprinklers, and alarms), emergency exit routes, and regular safety drills.

    • Annual Fire Safety Inspections: Your business will need to undergo an annual fire safety inspection by local authorities to maintain the Fire Safety License.

SiamConsult will help you understand which regulations apply to your business and guide you through the compliance process.

Step 2: Preparing Your Building and Facilities for Fire Safety Compliance

Before applying for a Fire Safety License, your building and facilities must meet all fire safety requirements.

Here’s what you need to prepare:

    • Building Plan Approval: Your building plan must comply with fire safety standards, including the use of fire-resistant materials, proper layout of emergency exits, and installation of fire alarms and sprinkler systems.
      SiamConsult will help you review and, if necessary, modify your building plans to ensure compliance.

    • Fire Prevention Equipment Installation: Install all required fire prevention equipment, including fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, fire alarms, emergency lights, and sprinklers.
      SiamConsult can connect you with certified suppliers and installation experts to ensure your equipment meets local standards.

    • Emergency Exit Plans: Develop and display clear emergency exit plans throughout your building.
      This includes marking exit routes and ensuring they are accessible and free from obstruction at all times.
      SiamConsult will assist in creating compliant evacuation plans and signage.

    • Regular Safety Drills and Training: Conduct regular fire safety drills and training sessions for your employees.
      Ensure all staff are familiar with the emergency procedures and know how to operate fire safety equipment.



Step 3: Preparing Your Application for a Fire Safety License

Once your building and facilities are ready, you need to prepare the necessary documentation for your Fire Safety License application.

The following documents are typically required:

    • Application Form: Properly completed and signed, including details of the building, type of business, and fire safety measures in place.

    • Building Plans and Layout: Certified building plans, including floor layouts, emergency exits, fire equipment locations, and materials used.

    • Fire Prevention Equipment Certification: Proof of installation and certification of fire prevention equipment from authorized suppliers.

    • Inspection Report: A preliminary inspection report from a certified fire safety inspector, confirming compliance with fire safety regulations.

    • Staff Training Records: Documentation of fire safety training sessions conducted for staff, including attendance records and training materials.

    • Insurance Coverage: Proof of adequate fire insurance coverage for your business premises.


SiamConsult will assist you in gathering all these documents, ensuring they are complete and properly formatted for submission.
