SAFETY SEAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

The Department of the Interior and Local Government, together with the Department of Labor and Employment, Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Tourism, and the Department of Health issued Joint Memorandum Circular No. 21-01 s. 2021 (“JMC 21-01”) Re: Implementing Guidelines of the Safety Seal Certification.

The Safety Seal Certification Program provided in IATF Resolution No. 87 aims to increase compliance by private or public entities with the minimum public health standards set by the government.
The program seeks to encourage the adoption and use of the Stay Safe.ph digital contact tracing application as well as increase consumer confidence as we safely reopen the economy.

The Safety Seal is a physical manifestation of the compliance of an establishment to the minimum health standards required by government to contain the spread of Covid-19.

Relative to this, the DILG issued Memorandum Circular No. 2021-053, re: IMPLEMENTING GUIDELINES OF THE SAFETY SEAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR THIS DEPARTMENT AND THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS AS ISSUING AUTHORITIES.

On said guidelines, stated therein the issuing authorities, “Under JMC 2001-01, the DILG/PNP and all Local Government Units are designated as Issuing Authorities vested with the authority to inspect establishments assigned to it and to issue and/or to revoke the Safety Seal. For purposes of this memorandum, the Bureau of Fire Protection (“BFP”) shall join the DILG/PNP in the Inspection and Certification Team.

The implementation of the program is continuously implemented.
