One-stop Licensing Service for Food and Beverage Establishments
Application Guidelines
Foreword
This booklet, “One-stop Service for Licensing of Food and Beverage Establishments - Guidelines for Applications”, has been published to give investors wishing to establish a food and beverage establishment in the Macao Special Administrative Region (MSAR) a clear and thorough understanding of the issues of concern and requirements relating to procedures for opening and licensing food and beverage (hereinafter referred to as F & B) establishments, thus avoiding wasted time due to insufficient documentation or disqualification of construction work, and to enable the investor to obtain a licence and commence business speedily. To accomplish the above-mentioned purposes, the One-stop Service focuses on the various phases of operating an F & B establishment, from the preparatory stage before opening, application for a licence, site construction and inspection, and licensing, through to the operating stage, including details of procedures for applying for a licence, services provided by relevant departments, issues relating to the selection of the site before opening, specifications of public safety, and sanitary conditions involved in decorating and installing facilities, criteria for documentation, authorities and responsibilities of relevant departments, criteria for inspection, penalties for violating relevant laws and regulations, etc. This booklet is divided into four sections: (1) Introduction to the One-stop Licensing Service for Food and Beverage Establishments, (2) Arrangements for Applying for Food and Beverage Establishment Licences, (3) Penalties for Violating Relevant Laws and Regulations and (4) Attachments. The content of this booklet is based on current laws regulating building structures, fire control, public safety and sanitary conditions. However, it does not cover in detail all the laws and regulations governing food and beverage establishments. Individuals wishing to obtain more detailed information about such regulations should refer to the relevant laws and regulations listed in Attachment 1. If you have any comments or wish to make any enquiries, you are welcome to contact the Civic & Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM) by phone, email, fax, post or in person. Your opinions and enquiries are welcomed, as they will help to improve the content of future editions of this booklet.

One-stop Licensing Service for Food
and Beverage Establishments
Introduction

One-stop Licensing Service for Food and Beverage Establishments Introduction
1. Principles In order to meet the demands of social development and create better conditions for investors, and to encourage the development of food and beverage (F & B) establishments, the Chief Executive of the Macao SAR enacted Administrative Regulation No. 16/2003 on 7 July 2003. The amendments to categories 4 and 5 of Decree Law No. 16/96/M governing the licensing procedures of F & B establishments are thus officially approved, and the “One-stop Licensing Service for Food and Beverage Establishments” has come into effect. As the organisation offering the “one-stop service”, the IACM is responsible for dealing directly with all applications for obtaining licences, and assisting applicants with processing the required documents and drawings, as well as the procedures involving other relevant public authorities. This simplifies administrative procedures, speeds up the process of issuing licences, increases the transparency of public administration and enhances the quality of service, thus fulfilling the IACM service pledge - “For the People”.
2. Scope of Services
As the organisation offering the “one-stop service”, the IACM does not deal with every application for licences in all categories of F & B establishments; only those covered in Categories 4 and 5 specified in Decree Law No. 16/96/M, including: 1) Category 4 – F & B establishments that mainly provide beverages and simple
dishes, such as coffee shops, ice-cream parlours, tea rooms, etc.; 2) Category 5 – F & B establishments that offer catering services and facilities and
equipment that satisfy the basic requirements for catering services, but excluding the requirements for restaurants, such as congee and noodle shops and food establishment.
3. Features of Services
The One-stop Licensing Service aims to provide the followings: 1) Offer clear information and technical assistance – These include the relevant
information contained in this booklet, display unit and short video. Complex project issues will be resolved through technical meetings between applicants and technicians from relevant departments. These meetings will aim to enable applicants to understand the details of the application procedure and the detailed technical requirements.
4
2) Centralised procedures processed by one organisation – Once authorised by the
applicant, the IACM will provide assistance with all application procedures, including applications for relevant documents from other departments (such as property registration reports, certified copies of the permit of use for the property, drawings, project permits, provisional operation permits for electrical installations, etc.). The IACM will also keep applicants informed of the progress of their applications and actions to be taken to meet the application requirements, in order to save applicants time in dealing with various departments and enable them to have a clearer idea of the status of their application.
3) Reduced set-up costs by speeding up the licensing process – Provided the
applicant submits all the required documents on the designated date, the licence will be issued in not more than 60 working days from the date of the application, excluding the construction period. In addition, if the establishment’s operation will not pose any risk for the public safety, public health and the environmental protection, a provisional licence will be issued to enable the applicant to commence business as soon as possible, in order to minimise financial losses.
4) Increased flexibility of licensing procedures – If the licensing process is
terminated for any reason, it can be resumed within a specified time, provided that the conditions for reapplication are fulfilled.
4. Application Procedures
The One-stop Licensing Service is mainly divided into the pre-application stage and the application stage. Please refer to the flow chart for further information:

4.1 Pre-application Stage The IACM provides detailed information concerning the One-stop Service and relevant documents required by the following means, thus enabling the applicant to clearly understand the procedures and therefore obtain the F & B Licence swiftly:
1) If the investor wishes to have a better understanding of the licence application procedures, he or she may visit the One-stop Service Organisation - the IACM - in person to obtain information handouts and pamphlets. In addition, the applicant may also consult IACM staff about the legal requirements for opening F & B establishments, criteria for submitting documents and relevant technical issues, licensing procedures, licence fees and payment methods.
2) Once the applicant files an application, the IACM will provide him or her with an
application form (Form A) and assist with completing the form correctly. The applicant may also authorise the IACM to undertake all application procedures, including applying for relevant documents and drawings from other relevant departments (e.g. a property registration report, plan drawing, sectional drawing and elevation drawing of the building) which are used as references in designing the project. All drawings must be officially compiled by an architect, civil engineer or technician, electronic or mechanical engineer or technician, fire-prevention company, contractor or construction company registered at the Land, Public Works and Transport Bureau, and the signatures of the applicant and the technician must be attached. For relevant criteria, please refer to Articles 1.3 and 1.4 of Section Two of this booklet.
3) If the project involves more complex technical problems, the applicant can raise
these issues in writing with the IACM and request a technical meeting. If the application is accepted, the IACM will arrange a meeting. The applicant will be asked to present at the meeting, accompanied by a technician, and representatives from the relevant departments will give detailed technical suggestions at the meeting. A maximum of three technical meetings can be arranged for each applicant. The first meeting is free of charge, while the second and the third are chargeable according to Table 5 of this booklet.
4) Upon obtaining the F & B Licence, the IACM will assist the applicant in
processing other pre-opening procedures, such as registration for corporate tax and occupational tax with the Finance Services Bureau, notifying the Social Security Fund of the list of employees, and so on. The IACM may also provide assistance in completing relevant forms, such as those related to the above-mentioned procedures.
8
4.2 Application Stage
The application stage starts after the applicant submits the application. The procedures include:
1) Upon receiving the application, the IACM is to send, on the same day or the next
working day, copies of the application form (Form A) and attached documents to the Lands, Public Works and Transport Bureau, the Fire Services, the Health Bureau and/or Cultural Institute, the Labour and Employment Bureau, and the Inspection Commission of Combustible Products and Installations, for their examination and approval. If the electricity consumption of the establishment exceeds 13.2 KVA (3 X 30A), the applicant is required to apply for a provisional operating permit for the electrical installation, in order to apply for the installation of a suitable watt-hour meter by the CEM. If it is not necessary for the IACM to apply on his or her behalf for the provisional operation permit for electrical installation, the applicant must state this clearly in the declaration of authorisation or specify it in Form A; otherwise the IACM will apply on his or her behalf for a relevant permit from the Lands, Public Works and Transport Bureau. At that time, the applicant must submit Form A, together with relevant drawings and the memorandum of construction specifications. The valid period of the permit should be stated in the memorandum. Once it is approved, the applicant will be granted the permit within 10 working days from the date of application.
2) If the relevant departments determine that the information provided in Form A and its attachments is erroneous, the IACM is to inform the applicant within 7 working days after passing the application to the relevant departments for review. The applicant must then submit corrected or required information within the specified time; otherwise the application process will be temporarily terminated 30 days after the designated date. The IACM will then notify the applicant of the decision made. The applicant may resume the application, subject to additional charges, within 6 months of receiving the notification. In addition, the fee paid by the applicant will not be refunded in the event of the termination and withdrawal of the application. If the documents submitted meet the stated requirements, the IACM will deliver the applicant the “project permit” issued by the Lands, Public Works and Transport Bureau within 25 working days after passing the application to the relevant departments for examination, provided that relevant fees are paid in full. If the application is rejected, the IACM is to inform the applicant by the said date, so that he or she can make relevant corrections or improvements by the designated date.
9
Upon receiving the project permit, the applicant must submit to the IACM the application form for commencing construction work within 15 days and purchase a construction record book. This enables the IACM to notify the Lands, Public Works and Transport Bureau to assign an inspector to make arrangements with the technical engineers to sign the permission statement at the site. The applicant may start the decoration or renovation work before then, in accordance with the approved plans and the suggestions and conditions provided by the relevant departments.
3) During the decoration or renovation period, if the need to modify the approved
project plan arises, the applicant must notify the IACM. If the altered plan is believed to affect public safety and health, the environment, and/or cultural heritage, the IACM will consult relevant departments for their technical opinions before making decisions on approving the said modifications.
4) The applicant should complete the construction work before the permit expires,
and must apply for inspection upon completion of the work. The applicant should also submit the construction record book to the IACM before the permit expires; otherwise the IACM will temporarily terminate the application process and inform the applicant 30 days after the permit expires. When the application is terminated, the applicant may resume the application subject to additional charges within 6 months upon receiving the notification. In addition, the applicant is not entitled for any refund of fees due to the termination and withdrawal of the application. The IACM will fix a date for the site inspection and issue a bill of charges to the applicant within 3 working days of receiving the notification of completion of work. The site inspection will be carried out within 15 working days upon receiving the application, and the IACM must inform the applicant of the exact inspection date at least 5 working days before the date of inspection. The applicant may request a change of the inspection date due to acceptable reasons. The IACM is to set another date of inspection within 15 working days upon receiving such a request, and inform the applicant of the exact date of the new inspection at least 5 working days in advance.
5) On the day of the site inspection, the applicant (or his or her agent) must be present
at the site with the relevant technicians. If the Inspection Committee believes after the inspection that the construction work totally fulfils the requirements of the approved drawings and instructions of relevant departments and that all the facilities and installations of the establishment are in line with the lawful criteria, the IACM will grant the applicant an official F & B Licence within 8 working days from the date of inspection. Applicants who do not entrust the IACM to undertake the business registration procedure must submit the business registration form to the Finance Services Bureau before obtaining the official F & B Licence.
10
6) If the Inspection Committee believes that the construction work fails to meet the requirements, the applicant will not be granted the F & B Licence. If the improvement issues will not pose any risks to the public safety, public health and environmental protection, the applicant will be granted a provisional licence within 8 working days from the date of inspection, on condition that the applicant will implement measures to improve the situation and observe various restrictions and conditions stated in the provisional licence. The applicant must apply to the IACM to arrange a re-inspection 15 working days prior to the expiry date of the provisional licence. Each re-inspection is subject to additional charges.
7) If the construction work of the F & B establishment neither meets the requirements
nor possesses the conditions for obtaining a provisional licence after inspection, relevant improvements must be made according to the suggestions of the Inspection Committee. The applicant must notify the IACM to arrange a re-inspection 15 working days prior to the expiry date of the provisional licence and pay additional charges for each re-inspection.
If the re-inspection is approved, the IACM will grant the official F & B Licence within 8 working days from the date of re-inspection. Applicants who do not entrust the IACM to undertake the business registration procedure must submit the business registration form to the Finance Services Bureau before obtaining the official F & B Licence.
8) The establishment can be opened for business only after the official F & B Licence
is obtained. 5. Address, Working Hours and Methods of Contact for Services

Installation Methods for Grease Interceptors A grease interceptor is a grit chamber with filtration, precipitation and cooling functions. For convenience of cleaning and inspection, the grease interceptor must have a strong cover that is easy to open. Principally, there are two installation methods:
1) Underground-type: installed under the ground. 2) Surface-type: installed on the surface of the ground. In normal cases, the underground type of grease interceptor is preferred. If it is impossible to install the underground type grease interceptor, because of the existence of a basement or underground car park or because the structure of the building may be affected, then a surface type of grease interceptor can be installed, subject to prior approval by the IACM. Locations for Grease Interceptor Installations
1) The grease interceptor must be installed in an area where it is easy to clean and
inspect. Except under special circumstances, it must not be installed in public areas of the building or public streets, to avoid affecting property owners or the public.
2) The grease interceptor must be installed in the washing area, and kept away from food preparation and storage areas. Notes for attention:
1) Sufficient space must be reserved for installation of an appropriate quantity of grease interceptors with an appropriate capacity.
2) Grease and waste water collected from the kitchen, including waste water from the water trough, sinks, stoves and ground ditch, must be directed into the grease interceptor for filtration, precipitation and cooling before being discharged into the building’s public drainage system.
3) The connection between the grease interceptor and the building’s drainage system must not obstruct the original water drainage system, thus affecting users of the system.
4) If the required capacity of the grease interceptor is so great that it cannot be installed within the establishment, the establishment may, with the IACM’s permission, install a number of grease interceptors of smaller capacity. However, the total capacity of the smaller grease interceptors must exceed the original required capacity. In addition, the capacity of each smaller grease interceptor must satisfy the required specifications for grease interceptor type A.
31
5) When the height of the grease interceptor is equal to or higher than 0.9 m., installing a surface-type grease interceptor under the sink will affect the normal use of the sink. In this case, in addition to installing the grease interceptor on the structural ground level (not the surface of the decorative floor), the floor of the working area must also be raised to ensure the safety of workers using the sink.
6) Special cases will be treated individually, according to the IACM’s advice.
1.4.9.10 Cooking Fume Filtration and Odour-dispelling Systems
1) The kitchen and other areas that function as food-preparation and cooking areas must be installed with proper filtration and odour-dispelling systems. The operation of such installations must not cause any inconvenience or damage to third parties.
2) The outlet of a smoke extractor must not be blocked and should be located in a ventilated area far from other residences.
3) An effective and efficient cooking fume filtration system should be installed. If the cooking process produces greasy cooking fumes, a high-efficiency filtration system, such as an electrostatic fume filter, should be installed.
4) The cooking fume filtration system selected must match the capacity of the smoke extractor, to ensure that the extraction capacity of the system is lower than that of the manufacturer’s specifications, in order to guarantee effective filtering results.
5) Since the electrostatic fume filter must be cleaned and maintained frequently to guarantee its designed efficiency, the filter must be installed in a place that is easy to clean and maintain. If the filter is not equipped with an automatic cleaning function, it must be cleaned weekly and maintained regularly.
6) In selecting a cooking fume filtration system, consideration should be given to choosing recognised and reputable brands.
1.4.9.11 Sewage Systems
The waste water of the establishment must be discharged directly into the public sewage system via the grease interceptor, and all the equipments for discharge waste water (e.g. sinks, water troughs and washbasins) must be properly equipped with siphon curve water outlets. Sewage pipes must be concealed all the way to the grease interceptor after passing the odour-dispelling process.
1.4.9.12 Drainage Systems
The floor of the kitchen, tableware room, and sanitary facilities should be gently slanting, so that the flow of water inclines towards the drainage system inlet.
32
1.4.9.13 Water Supply Systems
All F & B establishments must be connected to the public fresh water supply system.
1.4.9.14 Noise Control
1) Renovation works for the establishment must not be carried out on Sundays and public holidays, or between 8:00 pm and 8:00 am of the following day on weekdays.
2) Noise from the ventilation system, air conditioning system and other installations (stoves, sinks, etc.) must not exceed 10 dB (A) in comparison with background noise, as measured from the units of any persons who are disturbed by it.
3) If necessary, noise control devices must be installed to reduce the noise level, such as acoustic linings, acoustic baffle covers, acoustic silencers or acoustic louvers.
4) Soundproof facilities should be installed to minimise noise. 5) Noisy machinery and work must be isolated. 6) Since the air conditioning and ventilation systems produce noise, when
installing facilities that produce noise and vibration, such as cooling towers, compressors and motors, attention should be paid to avoid installing them near residences, schools or hospitals.
7) When air conditioning and ventilation systems are installed, they should not be directly fixed onto the building, because vibration generated by the operation of these installations will spread out and generate noise, thus causing disturbance to other people. Proper shockproof materials such as shockproof springs or rubber spacers must therefore be applied to parts that are connected to the building.
8) If the noise level exceeds 10 dB (A) in comparison with background noise, as measured from the units of persons being disturbed, a silencer must be installed on the air extraction system, as required by Article 6 of Decree Law No. 54/94/M on noise control regulation.
9) If the cooling tower of the air conditioner needs to be installed adjacent to residences, an acoustic baffle cover must be installed to reduce noise.
1.4.9.15 Water Dripping from Air-Conditioners
The water discharge pipes of air-conditioners must be connected to the drainage system of the building, to avoid water dripping and disturbing others.
33
1.4.9.16 Measures to Prevent the Propagation of Mosquitoes and Bugs
1) All partitions must be properly barriered to avoid the spread and propagation of the causes and methods of transmission of infectious diseases (such as mice and cockroaches) and to prevent them from entering via windows, doors, pipes or floors, or openings in walls and ceilings.
2) Effective electrical pest killers must be installed in the kitchen, other food preparation and cooking areas and the dining area, the number of which must be consistent with the accommodation capacity of their target zone.
3) Water logging within the establishment must be avoided. Measures must be taken to prevent mosquitoes propagating in water in vases and other decorative containers, by using appropriate materials such as filling them up with marble stones to keep the water surface out of contact.

3. Construction Stage
Upon receiving the construction permit, the applicant must purchase a construction record book. This enables the IACM to notify the Lands, Public Works and Transport Bureau to assign an inspector to make arrangements with the technical engineers to sign the permission statement at the site. The applicant may start the decoration or renovation work before then, in accordance with the approved plans, as well as the suggestions and conditions provided by relevant departments. The commencement date of construction is the date that the official notification from the IACM is received.
If the following conditions occur during the construction period, the applicant, project director and contractors must act in accordance with relevant regulations:
� If the project includes installation of reinforced concrete, the project director
must inform the IACM or the Lands, Public Works and Transport Bureau directly, and acquire the approval letter before starting the works.
� During the construction period, any alterations to the project plan or changes in design must be reported to the IACM together with the proposed alteration plan, including drawings and specifications of the modified plan. The IACM will assist with delivering the relevant documents to relevant departments for further approval. The restructuring work must not be carried out prior to approval by the relevant departments.
� If the alteration does not involve the fire control system or the structure of the building, or if it will not impair public safety, the applicant may make decisions concerning relevant alterations to the project, provided the project complies with the conditions stated in Article 1.4 of Section Two of this booklet, and other applicable regulations.
� Upon completion of construction works, the project director and contractors must submit declarations of responsibility stating whether the project has been completed in accordance with the approved plan and all applicable regulations.
4. Examination and Inspection Stage
4.1 Content and Criteria of Inspection Set by the Inspection Committee Upon completion of the project, the applicant must inform the IACM in order to arrange for a completion inspection, and at the same time submit the construction record book. The Inspection Committee will carry out the inspection within 15 working days of receiving the request. The inspection includes standard measures of public safety, public health, environmental protection and urban planning, as well as the appropriateness of the name of the establishment and the feasibility of issuing a provisional licence. The applicant or his or her entrusted agent must be present at the inspection, together with the
40
relevant technicians. The procedure of the inspection is as follows, (for other relevant criteria, please refer to Article 1.4 of Section Two of this booklet).
4.1.1 Safety Issues Related to the Construction and Structure of the Building
1) Inspection of whether the implemented project is in line with the approved drawings and suggestions about construction and structural safety.
2) Inspection of whether the annexes comply with relevant regulations concerning structural safety, fire control and public safety.
4.1.2 Safety Issues Related to Fire Control
1) Inspection of whether the fire control system and facilities comply with the approved drawings, and whether instructions concerning fire control have been implemented.
2) On-the-spot observations and testing of the fire control system to ensure that no other installations impede its normal operation.
3) Inspection of the number of emergency exit signs and the normal operation of the emergency lighting system.
4) Inspection of whether the fire extinguishers meet the Fire Services’ specifications, that the number of extinguishers is adequate, that the capacity of the extinguishers satisfies relevant regulations, and that they are located in the right areas.
5) Inspection of the fire-resistance capability of the kitchen, and whether advice about the safety of the fuel supply system and fire control has been implemented.
6) Inspection to ensure that the partitions are made of non-flammable materials and that they will not block emergency exits or impede the operation of the fire control system.
7) Inspection of whether suspended ceilings impede the operation of the fire control system, and whether they are made of flammable materials.
8) Inspection to ensure the widths of exits are consistent with the approved drawings.
4.1.3 Safety Issues Concerning Fuel
If the LPG consumption of the establishment exceeds 22 kg, or if the consumption of diesel or kerosene exceeds 20 litres, the Inspection Committee will, at the request of the relevant departments, inspect whether the storage and distribution network for fuel are consistent with the approved plan and conform with the instructions on the safety of the fuel supply system.
4.1.4 Safety Issues Concerning Sanitation
1) On-the-spot inspection of whether the project is consistent with the approved drawings.
2) Inspection of whether sanitation requirements have been fulfilled and also whether all plans are consistent with the standards of the relevant regulations.
41
4.1.5 Issues Related to Environmental Protection With regard to the specifications of grease interceptors and the smoke extraction system, an on-the-spot inspection will be carried out to ensure that the installations match the approved drawings.
4.1.6 Issues Related to Cultural Heritage Preservation
1) Inspection of whether instructions on cultural heritage preservation have been complied with.
2) Inspection of the accuracy of actual works of the project, and to determine whether they are consistent with the approved plan.
4.1.7 Safety Issues Related to the Workplace
If the F & B establishment employs more than 30 employees, the Labour and Employment Bureau will join the Inspection Committee to inspect whether the facilities/equipment within the establishment meet the safety requirements for work places.
4.2 Necessary Rectifications and Arrangements for Re-inspection of Projects
That Fail to Gain Approval
If the Inspection Committee finds during the on-the-spot inspection that the construction or restructuring, fire control system, fire control facilities, sanitary installations, sewage system, drainage system, installations of grease interceptors, fuel supply system, measures on cultural heritage preservation, safety operation standards or the public health standards of the F & B establishment are inconsistent with the approved drawings or plans, or relevant regulations, or instructions from the relevant departments, the project will not be approved.
In general, if the establishment’s facilities and installations and the approved plan are altered to a small extent, or they do not affect the safety of the building structure, restructuring of emergency passages, fire control system and the public safety, the Inspection Committee will offer practical advice and suggestions about rectifications.
If the situation is considered relatively complicated, the IACM will convey the professional advice of the Inspection Committee to the applicant within 5 working days after the inspection. Upon receiving such notification, the applicant must make improvements or rectifications within a specified time.
The applicant must execute the suggestions and instructions of the Inspection Committee. Upon completion of works, the applicant should notify the IACM so that a re-inspection may be conducted, or else submit modified drawings.
42
If a re-inspection is required due to the applicant’s fault, i.e. if the applicant fails to carry out renovation works required by relevant regulations or in accordance with the instructions given by the relevant departments, the applicant will be charged for each re-inspection. For the details of fees, please refer to Table 5.
4.3 Granting of Provisional Licence
When an on-the-spot inspection is carried out by the Inspection Committee and the project fails to gain approval due to reasons other than its impact on public safety, public health or the environment, subject to the Inspection Committee’s recommendation and approval by the One-stop Service Organisation, the applicant will be granted a provisional licence within 8 working days from the inspection date (please refer to Article 5.3 of Section Four of this booklet). The applicant must make relevant improvements and observe the terms and conditions specified in the provisional licence before the commencement of business. In addition, the applicant must notify the IACM about arrangements for re-inspection 15 days prior to the expiry date of the provisional licence.
The provisional licence is subject to certain charges and its period of validity may extend for between 2 and 6 months. It is transferable within this period.
4.4 The Official Food and Beverage Licence
If, during the initial inspection or re-inspection of the F & B establishment, the Inspection Committee concludes that the project fully complies with the approved drawings, and suggestions by relevant departments and the Inspection Committee itself have been implemented, and all the facilities and installations within the establishment comply with relevant regulations, the applicant may, subject to examination and approval by the IACM, obtain the official F & B Licence within 8 working days from the inspection date. Applicants who do not entrust the IACM to undertake business registration procedures must submit their business registration form to the Finance Services Bureau before obtaining the F & B Licence. (Please refer to Article 5.4 of Section Four of this booklet)
The official F & B Licence and initial inspection are subject to fees and the F & B Licence is valid for one year, during which the applicant is allowed to transfer and renew it. For relevant fees, please refer to Table 5.
4.5 Situations in Which Applications are Rejected
In general, there are two situations in which the IACM may reject outright an application for the F & B Licence:
43
1) When it is considered that there are no feasible ways, even through
rectifications, of improving a situation that may affect public safety, public health, fire control and the environment, and thus the project may directly or indirectly prejudice the public’s wellbeing in the future.
2) When the F & B establishment’s facilities fail to meet the requirements of
relevant departments and fail to pass the inspection carried out by the Inspection Committee, or when the professional advice and instructions made by the Inspection Committee are not implemented.

2. One-stop Service Organisation and Relevant Departments
2.1 One-stop Service Organisation Civic & Municipal Affairs Bureau
Besides acting as the One-stop Service Organisation in terms of supervising and assisting with the application procedures for obtaining a licence for an F & B establishment, the IACM is also the entity that examines and issues licences. Before the F & B establishment commences business, an Inspection Committee must inspect its project plan and ensure its premises comply with public health and safety, environmental protection and urban planning requirements. Once it has been confirmed that these requirements have been fulfilled and that relevant regulations have been complied with, the IACM will examine and issue the licence to the applicant. Afterwards, it will carry out further inspections of the operations of the F & B establishment after it opens for business. A representative of the Administration Committee of the IACM chairs the Inspection Committee. Its other members are representatives from the Lands, Public Works and Transport Bureau; Fire Services; and Health Bureau. In certain circumstances required by law, representatives from the Cultural Institute, the Labour and Employment Bureau and the Combustibles Safety Commission will also be included in the Committee’s membership.
2.2 Relevant departments Throughout the licensing process, opinions on the project must be sought from departments with specific areas of authority, such as the Lands, Public Works and Transport Bureau; Fire Services, Health Bureau, and Combustibles Safety Commission. Such opinions relate to the application for the F & B establishment licence, public safety and health, environmental protection, and urban planning. If the F & B establishment is located within a cultural heritage preservation area (please refer to “Selection of premises” in Section Two), the Cultural Institute must be consulted about the exterior environment, the external appearance, interior restructuring and renovation of the building. If an F & B establishment will employ more than 30 employees, the Labour and Employment Bureau must also be consulted. To provide investors a better understanding of the roles of relevant departments, their responsibilities and jurisdictions relating to the licensing of F & B establishments are summarised below.
54
