Minister of Industry, Mines and Energy

 

HEREBY DECIDES

SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTORY TERMS

Article 1: Objective

The prakas herewith (hereafter the “Establishment Prakas” or “this prakas”) is
issued pursuant to the Law on Management of Factories and Handicrafts
promulgated by Royal Kram No. NS/RKM/0606/0l8, dated June  23,2006 (the
“Law”) to further the following goals:

1.  Protect the public health by ensuring that natural and legal persons who
establish new factories and handicrafts in Cambodia do so in compliance
with the Law.
2.  Provide clear guidance to national and sub-national government on how
to satisfy their duties to register new handicrafts or permit new factories
under the Law.
3.  Encourage expeditious establishment of responsible, new factories and
handicrafts in Cambodia by:
a.  Providing clear, standardized and comprehensive guidance on how
to register new handicrafts and permit new factories under the
Law,
b.  Providing clear standards for granting national permits for
factories and permitted handicrafts under the Law, with authority
to MIME to coordinate and expedite action by other agencies
involved with permitting to be accountable and transparent,
c.  Providing handicrafts and factories with potentially permanent
establishment permits under the Law, provided that the owners
continue to comply with Law and other applicable laws and
regulations, including the Operation Prakas or other regulations
requiring payment of public service fees for regulated services,
d.  Exempting certain very small-scale handicrafts  facilities from all
registration requirements,
e.  Harmonizing the requirements of this prakas with the
requirements of the  other ministries and institutions  to  avoid
conflicting or needlessly duplicative requirements.
4.  Encourage the establishment of world-class manufacturing facilities, by
providing a voluntary process for facilities to be certified as Premium

Manufacturing Facilities, which meet internationally acknowledged
standards of safety and product quality.
 

Article 2: Definitions

Manufacturing Facility: Any Factory or Handicrafts, that must be registered or
permitted under the Law is deemed to be a Manufacturing Facility, subject to the
requirements of this Prakas. For purposes of the Law and this prakas, the terms
“factory” or “handicraft” are understood in their customary, normal usage.

Handicrafts Facility:  A handicrafts facility is a Manufacturing Facility, which
contains, or is expected to contain, tools, machines, equipment and furniture to
be used in the facility to produce manufactured products, which have a total
replacement value of less than $50,000.

Factory:  A Factory is a Manufacturing Facility, which contains, or is expected to
contain, tools, machines, equipment and furniture to be used in the facility to
produce manufactured products, which have a total replacement value of equal
to or more than $50,000.

Required Documents:  Every Applicant for a Permit or Registration under this
prakas must submit the documents specified in this prakas as Required
Documents for the specific kind of Permit or Registration in question.

Establishment Permit Application:  An  Establishment Permit  Application  is  a
formal  and written  request  through relevant offices  to the  MIME  to issue a
permit, authorizing establishment or initial operation for a new Manufacturing
Facility subject to the Permit requirements of this prakas.  The  Establishment
Permit  Application  includes the  Application Form plus all the Required
Documents specified for that Permit.

Establishment Permit:  An Establishment Permit is a permanent, written
permission from MIME to establish a new Factory or new Permitted Handicrafts
Facility, including the detailed terms of the permission granted.  When the
Factory or Facility is completed, an Operating License is required to begin initial
operation.

Operating License Application: For Factories and Permitted Handicrafts
Facilities, an Operating License Application is a written statement from an
Applicant that a Facility for which an Establishment Permit was granted, has
been completed and is ready to manufacture according to the technical standard
determined by the Ministry in accordance with Establishment Permit
requirements, and ready to submit a request for MIME to issue an Operating

License. For Registered Handicrafts Facilities, there is no Operating License
Application separate  from the Registration Application, which serves a
combined function.

Operating License: An Operating License is a written acknowledgement from
Department of Industry, Mine and Energy (DIME) that a Registered Handicrafts
Facility has registered properly, or from MIME that a new Factory or Permitted
Handicrafts Facility has been completed in accordance with its Establishment
Permit or MIME applicable  technical  standards, and that  the owner  can  start
manufacturing.  The Operating License is valid for three (03) years from date of
issuance, and shall be automatically renewed by the relevant MIME office on
payment of the annual fee and submission of an annual report. The Operating
License will be posed at an open place in the Manufacturing Facility, in
accordance with Article 16 of the Law.

Establishment Permit Requirement: The minimum compliance standards set by
MIME to receive a particular kind of Permit under this Prakas.

Registration Application: A Registration Application is formal notification to the
DIME and the relevant MIME office that a new non-exempt Handicrafts Facility
will be opened. The Registration Application includes the Application Form plus
all the Required Documents.

Registration: Registration of a Handicrafts Facility is completed when  the DIME
and  the relevant MIME office records the Registration Application, issues the
initial Operating License and assigns the Permanent Number to the Facility.

Applicant: Is the legal entity or person signing an Application Form under this
prakas. Any Applicant is free to retain any third party agent of its, his or her
choice to file and manage the application process.

Application Form: The initial pages of either  an Establishment Permit
Application, Operating License Application or a Registration Application, in the
form specified in Attachment A to this prakas.

Registered Handicrafts Facility: All Handicrafts Facilities that are subject to
provisions of the Law and this prakas, except for the Exempt Handicrafts Facility
and Permitted Handicrafts Facility, shall be properly registered with the DIME.

Exempt Handicrafts Facility:  Is a Handicrafts Facility, which contains, or is
expected to contain, tools, machines, equipment and furniture to be used in the
facility for manufacture, with a total replacement value of less than $3,000, and is
not manufacturing products on the list for Permitted Handicrafts Facilities.  To

administer this type of handicraft facility, DIME can arrange their staff to collect
the information and record them for statistical use, as needed; but the owners of
the exempt handicraft facilities are not required to register.

Permitted Handicrafts Facility: In order to protect the public health, certain
Handicrafts Facilities which manufacture food or drinks for human
consumption, chemical products or other potentially dangerous substances shall
request for the Establishment Permit and Operating License in advance from
MIME in order to be considered a legal Handicraft Facility.

Premium Manufacturing Facility:  Is a Factory or Permitted Handicrafts Facility,
which voluntarily opts to be certified by MIME as a Facility, which meets strict,
internationally recognized standards for safety and product quality.

Permanent Number: Every Manufacturing Facility, which receives its first
Operating Certificate under this prakas will simultaneously receive a unique
Permanent Number for the Facility, to assist in tracking all records about it.
Establishment Prakas:  This prakas only specifies how legal and natural persons
who plan to open and operate a Manufacturing Facility must register or request
for the Establishment Permit or Operating License. It does not apply to ongoing
operation of existing facilities that are subject to provisions of the Operating
Prakas.
Operation Prakas: MIME will issue a separate prakas on Factory and Handicrafts
Operation and Administration, known as the “Operation Prakas”.

minimal compliance with the  typical production practices and standards
followed by well-run, comparably sized, existing Cambodian Handicrafts
or Factories which make products like those proposed.
4.   MIME shall not use its power to issue Permits to limit market entry by
qualified applicants.

Article 15: Kinds of Handicrafts Facilities for which Permits are Required:

All Handicrafts Facilities which will manufacture the following products in the
minimum amounts stated must first receive Permits from MIME as Permitted
Handicrafts Facilities before they can establish and begin operations. MIME may

Article 16: Discretion of MIME in the Review of Establishment Permit
Application

Within four working days after a Permit Application has been received by
MIME, the General Department of Industry shall review the Permit Application
and Required Documents and prepare its written recommendation to the
Minister of MIME on whether or not the proposed Factory complies with the
minimum Permit Requirements. With the discretion to examine and decide on
the Application, MIME has the following alternatives:

Alternative One:

MIME shall review and evaluate the Handicraft Facility Establishment
Application based the comments and approval of the relevant competent
authority and the Ministry of Environment as necessary.

However,  the decision whether to approve or not approve the
Establishment Permit shall be the sole discretion of the MIME based on
the technical requirements for the establishment of the Factory-
Handicrafts Facilities, which have been determined and published. In this
regard, MIME may choose to decide on the application without waiting
for comments from the relevant competent authority or evaluation on the
environment impact or protect from the Ministry of Environment. Based
on its discretion, MIME shall decide to  issue the Establishment Permit
according to the request but may set requirements before issuing
Operating License by requiring the Applicant to provide the confirmation
of receiving approval of the location from the local authority, other
permits from other relevant competent authorities or approval letters from
the Ministry of Environment for related issues and environment impacts
and protection.

Alternative Two:

Before MIME decides to issue an Establishment Permit, the Applicant
must first provide a written permission from the local authorities or MoE
for the Applicant to establish the Factory or Permitted Handicraft Facility

in the location for which it is proposed.  To receive the Establishment
Permit, the Applicant need not demonstrate its ownership or legal right to
use the land where the Facility will be built. The determination of the
requirements to have approval from other institutions or local authorities
shall be determined solely by MIME as per its necessity.

Article 17: Handicrafts Facility Operation and Operating License

At any time when the holder of an Establishment Permit has completed or nearly
completed building the Facility, the holder shall file a License Application with
the MIME office as stated in Article 6 where the Establishment Permit
Application was filed.  This Application shall be  forwarded to the MIME for
review and decision  to issue the Operating License before the Factory-
Handicrafts Facility start its operation.

Within five business days of receiving the Operating License Application, the
General Department of Industry or it  agents shall conduct its investigation, if
any, to confirm that the Factory was completed in substantial compliance with
the plans submitted with the Establishment Permit Application, or otherwise in
compliance with applicable MIME Minimum Standards. The Ministry shall issue
the Operating License no later than seven working days of receiving Operating
License Application of the owner of the Factory-Handicrafts Facility and after the
General Department of Industry has confirmed that the Factory-Handicrafts
Facility was built and completed in accordance with its requirements.

If the General Department of Industry finds that the Factory-Handicrafts Facility
was not completed substantially in compliance with the plans submitted with the
Establishment Permit Application, or otherwise in compliance with applicable
MIME Minimum Standards, it will contact the Applicant within seven working
days of receiving the Operating License Application with specific, written
recommendations on actions which the Applicant should take to bring the
Factory-Handicrafts Facility into substantial compliance. MIME will not require
any actions from the Applicant other than those specified.

At any time when the Applicant completes the actions recommended, he/she or
it may submit proof of actions taken, and request again in writing that MIME
issue a Operating License.

 

Section 5: Voluntary Permit for Premium Manufacturing Facilities
 

Article 18: Premium Manufacturing Facilities:

MIME may, from time to time, publish Permit Requirements for the
establishment of specific kinds of Premium Manufacturing Facilities as requested
by their owner, and which the owners wish to have certified as Premium
