Necessary Licenses for Bottled Non-Alcoholic Beverage Production

Enterprises must secure two primary licenses for legal production operations. Without these licenses, businesses cannot market their products. They may face strict penalties from state regulatory bodies.

For producing bottled non-alcoholic beverages, enterprises must obtain:

• Certificate of Food Safety Eligibility.
• Certificate of Product Standard Declaration.

Certificate of Food Safety Eligibility

Article 11 of Decree 15/2018/ND-CP, issued by the Government on February 2, 2018, states: “Food production and trading establishments must possess a Certificate of Food Safety Eligibility when operating, except for cases specified in Clause 1, Article 12 of this Decree.”. Therefore, the Certificate of Food Safety Eligibility is an indispensable legal document. This license is issued by the provincial/municipal Food Safety and Hygiene Sub-Department. Issuance follows an assessment and confirmation that the facility meets all stipulated requirements. This is a key component of the Bottled Non-Alcoholic Beverage Production Licensing Service.

Certificate of Product Standard Declaration

Beyond the Certificate of Food Safety Eligibility, enterprises must also declare product standards. This is per Article 5 of Decree 15/2018/ND-CP.

Product standard declaration ensures products meet quality and safety requirements. It also ensures conformity with national technical regulations before market entry.
